Bio

I was born and raised in Japan and lived there until I was 27 years old. I have taken and passed level N1 of the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), which is the highest level available.

Currently, I teach Japanese and math at an international school. In addition, I work at public schools and support physically or mentally challenged students. I find working with them to be rewarding and I work hard to help them reach their full potential. I truly enjoy working with students...

Currently, I teach Japanese and math at an international school. In addition, I work at public schools and support physically or mentally challenged students. I find working with them to be rewarding and I work hard to help them reach their full potential. I truly enjoy working with students from diverse backgrounds.

I also have experience working as a personal banker at an international bank in Japan and have developed well-seasoned customer service skills. I look forward to meeting students of all age groups and a variety of cultural backgrounds.

During my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and exercising. I am a creative, patient, and caring individual who finds pleasure in helping people and animals. I would like to provide students with the skills to develop their inherent strengths. By teaching Japanese language and culture, I hope to contribute to their increased understanding of global issues.

Excellent Tutor

I would highly recommend Yoko as a tutor - she is extremely kind, affable and enthusiastic and has a very approachable manner with children. She is also reliable, prompt and hardworking. She is clearly very intelligent, her communication skills are excellent, and she was flexible about the manner in which we ran lessons as well as the times of our meetings. We were only able to meet with Yoko a few times, as we relocated to Tokyo shortly after meeting her, but I felt that the lessons provided my children with a positive introduction to the Japanese language.

Thank you very much for posting the great review about my lesson. It has truly been a pleasure getting to know your children. They love to learn and have an amazing attention span. Because of their eagerness to learn, I truly enjoyed tutoring your children and already miss them a lot. I am sure they will have a wonderful life experience in Japan. Have a great summer, and I wish you good luck with settling into your new life in Japan.

Excellent teacher with perfect manners and attitude

Yoko was an excellent tutor for my daughter. She is very good with children, patient and kind. She went well beyond what she is required to do, and paid extra time and attention for my daughter to excel in her Math and Japanese. We feel extremely fortunate to have met her and will definitely recommend her to whoever is looking for a tutor.

Learning with fun and confidence

Yoko is great, my boys were taking Japanese lesson for the pas two years in Hawaii and they had an awesome tutor, so they were a little nervous, but as soon they met Yoko the loved her, she made all of us fell comfortable and confident. It's our first time using Wyzant and I'm very happy we got this connection. Looking forward for plenty more classes to come! Arigato Yoko!

I appreciate the positive review very much! Educating your eager learners is a joyful experience. Their kind nature motivates me to become a better educator. I cannot wait to learn more about the culture of Hawaii and Brazil from them, and teach them all about the Japanese language. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach them.

Great Private Japanese Tutoring Experience

Yoko Sensei is a very nice and dedicated teacher who helped me greatly with my Japanese studying and Japanese daily conversation. She is very willing to teach anything the student want to study. Although I've only had her for a couple times of classes, I have leaned many things from her. Chatting with her after class, or outside class (She took me to a great store where sells Japanese books!), I learned about Japanese culture and what is like to live in Japan. She also tried to use more Japanese words in our conversations to help me with my hearing and pronunciations. I really liked her teaching style and highly recommend people to take her class. Thank you Yoko Sensei!

Your positive energy and aspiration inspired me greatly. It was my pleasure to teach such a brilliant student!
