Bio

Hello! My name is Hiroko. I am a native, certified Japanese tutor / coach with five years of experience.
I love cooking, Karaoke, and Aikido.

My lessons are a bit different from typical Japanese classes.

I use a method that combines both “teaching” and “coaching”, so all students— from beginners to advanced— make great progress in their Japanese skills.

Hello! My name is Hiroko. I am a native, certified Japanese tutor / coach with five years of experience.
I love cooking, Karaoke, and Aikido.

My lessons are a bit different from typical Japanese classes.

I use a method that combines both “teaching” and “coaching”, so all students— from beginners to advanced— make great progress in their Japanese skills.

Step 1. We set goals together.
Step 2. We make a study plan to achieve your goal.
Step 3. We choose materials that suit your level and objectives.
Step 4. Most importantly, you practice Japanese with me “daily” (even when you don’t have lessons!) through text or audio messages, and I will coach you based on your learning progress.

I believe the most effective way to learn Japanese is for students to study proactively, with my guidance every step of the way!

I’m passionate about helping you reach your goals by providing the right structure, encouragement, and resources tailored to your needs.

I offer both online and in-person (at my Midtown Manhattan office) lessons.
If you’re ready to study actively and make real progress with a supportive coach by your side, let’s get started!

So much fun!!!

Hiroko san makes the session fly by with her wonderfully positive attitude. She does a fabulous job tailoring the lessons to my interests. She is also is great with following up during the week helping me refresh what we had learned during the lesson. 100% recommend Hiroko san!!!

Fantastic tutor

Hiroko-san has been a great tutor, I've had multiple sessions with her and I really appreciate her approach to teaching language. I have had some past Japanese instruction, and she has been great at meeting me where I am at with the language and continually challenging me to learn more. She also includes a nice short daily speech practice, which has been helpful to keep me working on speaking. She is very professional, organized, and easy to talk to, as well. I've been looking forward to our lessons each week! I would recommend her both for people new to Japanese and for people who have some experience with it.

Well Paced with Patient Learning

Hiroko is a great teacher! She's very encouraging and supportive to me as a new student to Japanese. Always cheerful and willing to provide more details on Japanese culture, she also provides well structured and organized lesson plans. She's also a teacher outside the classroom by offering practice phrases and exercises through conversation apps, as well as providing detailed lesson plans that are easy to follow. What I like most about the class is that she goes at a pace that works for me, where I don't feel overwhelmed by the information.
