Excellent language tutor!

Yukari-sensei continues to help me advance my Japanese greatly! She's a very patient teacher, and because of her teaching style, the results have been dramatic! Lessons involve writing, working from a variety of teaching material, and some conversation. It's a lot, but thanks to some excellent, detailed explanations and thorough teaching style, I've become capable of passing JLPT N5 and N4 on the first attempts, and currently am on track to pass the next level as well. I highly recommend lessons from Yukari-sensei if you're interested in making progress with the Japanese language!

Wonderful start!

I've been trying to find a way to effectively start learning Japanese for just about a year now, and after just 1 lesson with Yukari, I think I've found what I've been looking for. Not only is she patient and kind, but the lesson was very clear and I already have a much better understanding of what I've been struggling with. I look forward to many more lessons with Yukari!

Patient and Friendly

Yukari has been teaching me for a little over a month now. As a complete beginner and an adult, it can be a little intimidating to try to learn the Japanese language. Yukari has been friendly and welcoming. She has helped provide structure and goals to break down the learning process into manageable steps. I have enjoyed learning from Yukari and will continue to do so -- definitely recommend for anyone wanting an in person tutor.

Experienced and prepared tutor.

Yukari has a clear plan for her lessons. Our first lesson was a quick assessment of current capabilities, quickly moving from section to section as soon as level of competency was established. She provides as much value in the lesson as possible by providing just brief review of the target lesson and focusing on communicative aspects.

First lesson

Yukari was well organized and presented clearly. She paused often for questions. Afterward, she forwarded work sheets I can study from. Her friendliness and effervescence made for an enjoyable hour.

Knowledgeable and Well Prepared

Had a great class with Yakari-San. She created a good plan and had a lot of supporting materials for me to use. Her follow up after the lesson was very prompt.

Such a patient and knowledgable tutor.

I can't say enough about how much Yukari has helped me. I take a community Japanese course and I am always prepared for my lessons with a lot of help from Yukari. She is so patient as I repeatedly mess up reading and speaking. Thank you!
