I've had well over 100 lessons with Yoko-sensei now, and I'm very grateful for all the help she's given me, as well as the energy, enthusiasm and positivity that she always brings to our lessons.
It's been very useful to talk about a wide range of subjects - and has helped to improve my vocabulary and overall Japanese significantly. I intend on continuing to take lessons with Yoko-sensei regularly, and will continue to recommend her to friends that want to study Japanese.
Thank you for being a regular part of my mornings, Yoko-sensei, and I look forward to many lessons to come!

My 8-year-old daughter loves Yoko-sensei's lessons! Yoko-sensei provides kid-friendly lessons and tailors them thoughtfully to each child's needs. She is easy to communicate with, and her review documents are incredibly helpful for both my daughter and me. Her class feedback is always detailed and well-written. I highly recommend Yoko-sensei if you're looking for a Japanese teacher for young children!

Another exciting and motivating class with Yoko sensei! One of the great things about the classes is that I get to speak 'a lot' and actually 'use' the expressions learned. A 45 minute class just flies very quickly, and I feel more confident about speaking Japanese.
