Nicholas F.

3 Japanese lessons

Not only is she very flexible in terms of meeting times but she is also a very skilled Japanese tutor. She took a very dense Japanese text about the call market in Japan (Money Market) and together, we went sentence by sentence dissecting not only the kanji (both meaning and readings) but the overall reading comprehension by letting me re-summarize words or phrases with my own Japanese vocabulary. She also pointed out repeating grammatical trends to enforce concepts.

Veronica A.

10 Japanese lessons

She was very patient, and I learned a lot in only a matter of months. She tries to make it as fun as possible so we don’t spend so much time just sitting with books in our hands, she always knows of good places including restaurant, festivals, ect. where you can learn not just from reading about the Japanese language and culture but experience it. It made learning enjoyable and easier. She's always easy to contact and can always arrange her schedule for you.

Elizabeth D.

24 Japanese lessons

I am very fortunate to have found Keiko-San! She is an absolute delight to work with, really flexible with lessons and scheduling, and is really helping me to fill in all the "gaps" that I have in my Japanese from years of studying on my own. If you're in a situation like me where you've never taken classes, it's great to be able to just work on the things that you need to. So, in short, I offer my unconditional recommendation and look forward to continuing my studies.
