Miss Yuko is a very kind, patient and organised teacher. She explains everything very clearly. I would recommend her for anyone looking to learn Japanese.

아이토키에서 일본어 수업은 처음이라 떨렸는데 유코가 편안하게 잘 이끌어주었어요. 일본어 왕초보이지만 유코와의 수업 덕분에 잘하고 싶은 마음이 들었어요. 감사합니다.

Very warm and welcoming teacher. Very patient as well, even in trial lesson. I learned a lot in just one lesson. She encourages me to speak in Japanese and also explain the things that I don't understand. We went a bit overtime but she just let me continue, which was very nice of her. I would definitely recommend her.
