Already 6 months studying Japanese with Yoko sensei! One of the best things about the class is that Yoko sensei explains things and converses in Japanese as much as possible. Speaking and listening as much as you can in the target language is tough but will get you to your goal as soon as possible. Can't find a better tutor and class 😃

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!

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!
