Yuko-sensei is a phenomenal teacher - any day that I'm feeling a little nervous for class because I feel insecure in my Japanese or under-prepared for our lesson, I end up leaving the class with a renewed sense of self-confidence. That motivation & confidence she gives me paired with how helpful her explanations are make classes with her invaluable!! I can't recommend Yuko-sensei highly enough! ありがとうございます!

I have had a few lessons with Yuko先生 now and can confidently say I will continue doing so. My Japanese speaking ability and recall has improved noticeably and I love that she always corrects me not only grammatically but to also sound more natural when speaking. Likewise, she always answers my questions thoughtfully on nuanced topics and vocabulary differences and is patient as I try to form sentences. Looking forward to more classes with her! ありがとうございます、Yuko先生

Wonderful lesson as always. I've always been the type to start learning how to do something and she has been supportive and encouraging enough that I would never consider giving up on learning Japanese.

Very well organised. Good structure, supportive throughout the lesson. Praise and encouragement. Checks for accuracy in writing characters and for good pronunciation. Extremely happy with Yuko’s lessons. A teacher who is well planned for each lesson and I am enjoying learning as a beginner and making steady progress.
