Very good tutor

Greatly helped with Japanese homework which involved writing an essay. Appt was made at last minute, so it was very helpful to find a tutor that quickly.

Toni, 1 lesson with Hiroko

Great Japanese singing teacher!

I came to Hiroko with an unusual request of teaching me how to sing Japanese, and she tailored the lesson to fit exactly what I needed! It's been super helpful and i look forward to our lessons : D

Hayley, 4 lessons with Hiroko

Professional with strong experience

My 5 year old son was extremely anxious about starting Japanese lessons, however Hiroko and her daughter welcomed him with much kindness and patience. She incorporated games and other fun creative ways to foster a positive learning experience. We were very impressed with her professionalism, experience, patience and non intimidating nature. I highly recommend her as a tutor.

Melissa, 9 lessons with Hiroko

Great Lesson

Had a great lesson. Hiroko gave me exercises to work on that are tailored to my struggles and that are actionable in the practice room.

Helped Me

Today Hiroko helped me communicate in places like Starbucks. She helped me communicate in terms of placing an order and making a financial transaction as well as requesting particular customizations to ordered products at specific shops like Starbucks. She's very good at breaking down terminology as well as assisting in spelling out sentences and understanding grammar placement in the sentence.
