こんにちは!リコです。Hello! I'm Riko, a native Japanese teacher👋🌸 I was born in Kyoto and now I live in Tokyo. I can speak both the Kansai and Tohoku dialects, and I also speak a little bit of Korean and Italian too! I have spent time abroad in the US, Italy, the UK, South Korea and many other countries. I used to work as a tour guide, so I love talking about culture and travel too. My hobbies are going to hot springs, watching movies, and I love dogs!🐶 私は京都で生まれて、東京に住んでいます。私の興味があることは温泉や映画、犬です。 世界中の国々に行ったことがあります。昔、ツアーガイドをしていたので、文化や旅行の話も大好きです。標準語だけでなく、関西弁や東北弁も話せます。韓国語とイタリア語も少し話せます。

Riko-Sensei is an exceptional Japanese teacher whose passion for language and patient teaching style make learning both engaging and effective. She explains concepts clearly, adapts lessons to fit your pace, and always encourages consistent progress. Her warm and friendly demeanor creates a comfortable learning environment where it’s easy to ask questions and practice without fear of making mistakes. Since starting lessons with her, I’ve noticed a real improvement in my comprehension, confidence, and speaking ability. I highly recommend Riko-Sensei to anyone serious about learning Japanese.

Rico was really pleasant, patient and friendly. Having a high comprehension of Japanese but not much practice outputting, I was often forgetting simple words but she was patient and understanding and encouraged me to take my time. I look forward to working with her again. Would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed my second lesson with Riko. I was worried going into the lesson as very tired this week and haven't had time to study much but Riko is so friendly and patient so always makes me feel comfortable taking my time. I am still struggling to produce words I can recognize in books but I am looking forward to working on this together. I would highly recommend for other students.

Riko sensei helped me through a role play of me explaining a hard grammar point to my students. I sent her a worksheet and she was very happy to help me. She is always so professional and gave me many good points to think about while I teach my own students. She is always very kind and good hearted. She is always trying to be supportive and positive during our class. I really appreciate the time in our lessons and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a thoughtful Japanese teacher.
