★Practical Instruction: Drawing from 15 years of leading educational material development in the publishing industry, I can teach you the secrets of business Japanese and travel conversation.Me as a Teacher
★I love to learn language, so I want to support people who want to master a language.我喜歡學習語言，所以我想給所有學習日語的人最好的支持。
★I like to think about giving the best explanation about grammar or give the best advice to improve conversation. 可以想出語法解釋讓學生更容易理解，並提出改善發音的方法
★I got a master's degree at a university in the U.K., so I can make use of my professional skill to plan Japanese lesson for you.我擁有英國一所研究生院的應用語言學碩士學位。您可以根據自己的目標運用專業知識來組織課程
★I worked as a high school English teacher for 6 years and after that I worked at a publishing company for about 15 years. So I can teach you business Japanese.大學畢業後，我擔任日本的私立高中英語老師6年，然後在一家教育出版公司工作15年。因此，您也可以教商務中使用的日語。My lessons & teaching style
★I try to make students feel free to say their opinion or ask questions. Many of my students are adults or students. Some are over 60 yrs old.我的許多學生都是成年人，有些則在60歲以上。
★I will encourage students to speak as much as possible, because it is the main reason students choose native Japanese teachers.學生在課堂上說話很多。我要求我的學生盡可能多地講話。
★I have been researching how yo can improve Japanese. Therefore I understand students' current ability and provide most suitable practice or lesson.我一直在進行研究以提高我的語言能力。因此，我將為您上一節課，以了解您的日語能力並進一步提高其日語能力。

Yasuko sensei is gentle and patient. She makes me feel comfortable. During the trial class, she tested my level of reading and speaking to determine where I stand and recommended a textbook for me. I hope to continue with Yasuko sensei.

After having frequent lessons for the last couple of months, we finished the Try N2! book today. I am very happy, I found Yasuko-Sensei, since she is reliable, always well prepared (with some own materials) and engaged to increase the understanding when it is getting difficult.
I strongly recommend her lessons, since you can enjoy productive and fun learning environment with her.
