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.

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.
