7 Japanese lessons

Even my rambunctious 4 year old son :)Yuko brings age appropriate materials, charts, flash cards, puppets, worksheets, and origami to tutoring sessions and my kids look forward to every sessions with her. Yuko walks that beautiful balance between total professionalism and skilled playfulness that is so effective with young kids. My children have picked up traditional Japanese songs and play and pieces of conversational Japanese in a very short time.

1 Japanese lesson

Hisatsugu was such a friendly and knowledgable tutor. He was flexible in his teaching style, helping me practice Japanese conversation and explaining the nuances of the language. He is a native speaker of Japanese and is fluent in English so he is really able to guide you in the right direction if you choose a phrase that doesn't sound right, and explain the subtle differences in alternate phrasing. Excellent teacher!
Kiera J.

7 Japanese lessons

His ability to assess your academic needs underscores his years of teaching. I have taken many Japanese classes in college and with private organizations full of native speakers, but to date, Shinsuke stands head and shoulders above them all. An added benefit to studying with Shinsuke is his working knowledge of business Japanese and social etiquette.Something I did not receive in a classroom setting. If I had to give him a grade, it would be an A++.
