Yoko-sensei is an excellent teacher.
I have had many teachers iTalki over the past couple years, and she is one of the best！
Yoko-sensei makes you feel very comfortable, is organized, and tailors material based on your needs.
I am currently studying for the JLPT N3, and she has been very helpful in identifying my weak-points and helping me improve.
I highly recommend.

非常温柔的yoko老师，因为我的疏忽导致课间沟通不是特别流利，老师非常耐心地等待我的翻译，顺利地体验了italk师资的专业性，等我口语练习好点会继续向yoko老师学习，谢谢老师！
