Hello.
My name is Rieko. I currently live in LA, California. I was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. While attending Komae High School, in Tokyo, I studied classes to develop my English language skills. After I graduated high school I traveled to South Korea to study aboard. I lived in Korea for five and a half years. My first year in Korea, Seoul, I studied transitional Korean language at Yonsei University Language School. I advanced my studies receiving my bachelor’s degree in Social Science. I started tutoring Japanese to students in Korea. Through that experience I continued my education receiving my professional Japanese teacher certificate, from Arc Academy, Japanese Language School.

After my time in Seoul, I returned to Japan; completing my Japanese teacher training courses, at Arc Academy Japanese Language School. I became a full time teacher of Japanese language skills at Yu Language Academy , ISSAC Language Institute in Tokyo, Japan. I’ve taught all levels of the Japanese language from beginning classes to advanced learners. I have also taught private lessons in conversation to people from England. This gives me a unique perspective on how difficult it is for students to learn a second language whether a young grade school student or college students. I can assist students in all subjects in the curriculum with Japanese language skills.

I have been tutoring Japanese to American students for years in the US, and also teaching Japanese students of Port of Sacramento Japanese School as a 3rd grade teacher.

Teaching job is my passion and joy.

I look forward to sharing my passion for language.

Excellent Tutor!

I'm having her tutor me Japanese and her style of teaching enables me to understand the content very easily. She gives excellent explanation of why or how and gives small nuggets of information that help with the understanding.

Fun and engaging

My 10 yo daughter is completely new to Japanese and found her lesson with Rieko to be really fun and engaging. Rieko is patient and kind and works well with children.

Great start

I'm re-learning, again ;), Japanese and my first two classes have been great. Rieko-sensei has helped me figure out where to pick things up from what I remember vs what I need some refresh on and the classes have been fun.

Very effective tutor

Rieko has been tutoring my daughter, who is a college student interested in the Japanese language. Rieko very quickly developed rapport with my daughter and identified her current skill level in speaking and understanding Japanese. Even after just a few sessions, my daughter is making excellent progress and will be prepared for the upcoming semester in college. It is very clear that Rieko has had a lot of success with students as she is very well organized, with a clear goals that she sets for her students. Highly recommended.

Smart and kind

Reiko san was very kind and very quick to catch on to my comprehension level. Excellent Japanese tutor with lots of knowledge. She helped me review the kana and taught me basic greetings, sentence structure, numbers, time, and dates. Highly recommend.
