Satoko

先生はいつもありがとうございます！今日はたくさんことを話して新しい言葉を習って嬉しいです。先生の説明は優しくてわかりやすいです。そしても、いつも楽しかったです！

Every lesson with Satoko Sensei has been helpful, productive, natural, but most of all — fun! We work on new words and expressions and the occasional slang word even. Conversations flow and don’t feel pressured. I’m always given plenty of time to say what I’m trying to say. And even when I get confused, she gently guides the conversation back to the topic at hand. If you are thinking of starting Japanese conversation lessons this new year, you shouldn’t hesitate to try some lessons with Satoko. :)

Need a New Year's resolution?? Look no further than Satoko Sensei and start speaking Japanese! I've tried to learn Japanese for a long time, but learning with Satoko has been truly a "level-up" experience. I'm actually looking forward to each next lesson because I know we'll find something fun to talk about. I used to be afraid of making mistakes, but with Satoko my confidence is increasing. That's the way learning should be in my opinion -- fun and effective. Lessons have been a great balance of listening and speaking. みなさん、頑張ってくださいね！😉

Satoko Sensei is fabulously helpful for getting started with Japanese conversation practice! She makes sure to make you feel at ease and is very encouraging. She gives helpful notes and feedback, all the while giving plenty of room for you to experiment and make mistakes which is just part of learning language anyway. The time flies by and doesn't feel like a boring language lesson. I would highly recommend taking some lessons with Satoko! :)

Satoko-san has helped me with Japanese for the past three years. She has always been attentive and invested in my progress. She is patient and knowledgeable. She helped me pass JLPT N5 and I’m about to take N3 in December. I always feel very grateful for her help!
