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.

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Yoko sensei! I hadn't studied Japanese with a tutor in over half a year, but Yoko sensei helped me ease right back into it! Arigatou gozaimashita!

Yoko used the Genki book, which worked well for me because those are the materials I have already started using. She’s very nice and definitely makes sure you don’t feel bad about messing up. I hope to take more lessons with her in the future.
