Wonderful Japanese Tutor in the Bay Area
Mamiko Sensei is a wonderful tutor who was able to quickly identify my strength and weakness in Japanese and tailor each lesson to meet my needs. I appreciated her goal setting which has increased my confidence in my command of Japanese. Mamiko sensei was great in explaining Japanese from the complex grammatical rules to the colloquial phrases. I appreciated how she begins the lesson with a discussion of current events and general conversation in Japanese -- something you won't find in a structured course at the community college. Overall, I feel much more prepared and really appreciate her patience and diligence in improving my Japanese. I highly recommend her as a Japanese tutor to any student at all levels in the Bay Area.

Amazing Teacher
Mamiko was really patient and always makes a great effort to help mitigate and confusions. She is also really pleasant to converse with! Her preparation and summary sheets are greatly helpful to maintaining a high level of clarity.

Outstanding Tutor
My daughter initially struggled through Japanese despite significant effort on her part. We initially worked with Mamiko to help us survive Japanese 2. She's made tremendous progress and her performance has improved significantly - to such an extent that we decided to take Japanese 3 next year. Mamiko has been great helping her through all aspects of her language. Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks Mamiko!

Best Japanese Tutor
Mamiko has helped my son immensely this quarter. My son is a freshman college student taking Japanese for the first time. Mamiko has been incredibly patient, encouraging and has helped my son become a lot more confident and knowledgeable. We are grateful we found her. We highly recommend Mamiko!

Excellent Tutor!
Mamiko is a very helpful and knowledgeable tutor. She helped me prepare for the JLPT N4 and was very encouraging. Every lesson was interactive and enjoyable. She explained the concepts in depth and made me feel ready to take the JLPT!

Accommodating, patient, and encouraging
I wish she was my actual teacher, because she has helped me so much with JA2. I really think I would've failed this class I have without her! She's super accommodating with my dyslexia, and never fails to say the right thing if I get discouraged. She's wonderful at her job, and a definite need if you're falling behind in your Japanese class.

Mamiko is the best!!
I’m so grateful to have Mamiko as my tutor. I decided to learn Japanese before visiting Japan next year and signed up for a college course. The course was so fast paced. I felt like I wasn’t retaining any of the information. Luckily I found Mamiko! After meeting with her for two weeks I no longer felt like I was behind. I also started retaining everything I was learning in class. She’s good at challenging you by asking questions outside of the textbook and making you think of how to use the things you’ve learned in different ways. We’ve just gotten started but I’m excited to continue learning from her and see how my Japanese develops. ありがとうございます Mamiko!
