I specialize in Japanese lessons for children where they can naturally learn Japanese through fun and engaging activities.
With over 15 years of experience teaching English to children, I design personalized Japanese lessons based on each childās age, interests, personality, and learning pace.
As a certified childcare worker and licensed school teacher in Japan, I create a safe and encouraging environment where children can gain confidence using Japanese.
Lessons include games, visual materials, and interactive activities so children can enjoy learning while building real communication skills.
⨠Feel free to book a trial lesson ā I look forward to meeting you and your child!

My daughter has taken several lessons with Yoko-sensei and has enjoyed each one. She always looks forward to the next lesson. She told me she has so much fun and learns very well. My daughter is fully engaged throughout the class and appreciates the variety of activities.

Yoko always puts a lot of creative effort into her lessons for our 3 year old. He is gaining confidence in himself with speaking, and it is beautiful to watch. Thank you to Yoko Sensei for being part of his growth and encouraging him with a fun and happy environment. :) Outside of lessons, we all smile together when he sings songs from the lessons, or he gets excited to name things with vocabulary he learned from lessons. His homework is always fun for him, and he is very proud of himself.

Yoko Sensei has really taken our personal needs/wishes into account when creating lessons for our son (age 3). She is in bright spirits for every lesson, is patient, is encouraging, and offers diverse materials. Homework is both fun and age appropriate. We have no hesitation to recommend her to anyone. :)
