Yako Kimura

Yako-sensei is so sweet and helpful! She helped me speak in grammatically correct sentences and was quick to stop and explain the words she used when I didn't understand. I felt completely comfortable speaking and making mistakes because I knew that she would help me speak better. ありがとうございました、木村先生！

Long-term Japanese language learner here. I can't recommend Yako highly enough: she's knowledgdable, professional, and always tailors lessons to the needs of her students. On top of that, she's also just a fun person to talk to!

Another wonderful class and a great opportunity to practice my accent and conversation. I recently discovered Kimura sensei's podcast on spotify, and I like hearing it during work. She has such a pleasant voice! Thank you again for your patience and kind words.

Excellent explanations of differences between English and Japanese.

I had a lot of fun during this lesson. We had a lot of laughs. The concept we went over is finally starting to make sense to me!

Yako is excellent as explaining the subtleties of the Japanese language which, without her guidance, would be very confusing to me as an English speaker. She explains and gives other examples of the useage.
