I'm so glad that I found Yoko-san. She has a great intuitive sense for my needs or for how the particular lesson is flowing. She is very flexible, but also knows when to explain and when to let me keep talking. She also has a very encouraging style. I look forward to continuing my classes with her.

I just finished my first full hour with Yoko-san, and it was a great lesson that went by really fast! She is a wonderful teacher—very patient and encouraging. I truly feel that she can help me a lot with improving my Japanese. I can't wait for our next lesson!

I just had my third or fourth lovely conversation lesson with Yoko-sensei. 45 minutes of conversation in which I could use many recently learned words for the very first time. Lessons like this one really boost a student's motivation. I could not recommend this teacher more warmly.

Yoko san is very patient during the lessons, teaches very useful phrases while customizing the lessons to what I will need during my trip to Japan. I’m confident to use my Japanese skills when I travel there later this year!

Great lesson as always, I had to re learn the particle 'NI' as I do at times get mix up with the particle 'DE'. The next lesson I would like to learn how to create my own sentences in Japanese
