Hello! I am Shoko, a professional Japanese teacher. I've been teaching Japanese for more than 6 years. I am qualified and try to make all the content easy to understand. In addition, I always keep in mind to make my lessons fun, and cozy, and never make you nervous to speak Japanese. Beginner language learners tend to feel nervous about speaking and become less confident because of teachers' too much correction. I never make you feel like that! Please relax and enjoy Japanese :)

Shoko-Sensei’s classes are always so good! She provides the same questions at the beginning of each class so I can get into the practice of how to answer. The topics she comes up with are very useful and enjoyable. I highly recommend her, especially if you’re new to Japanese

ありがとうございました!Another great lesson with しょこ先生。This week Shoko taught me more kanji, we did a JLPT N5 kanji review, reviewed the より、のほうが comparisons and learnt how to conjugate adjectives into the くて、で forms! また来週ね!

I have been having lessons with Shoko先生 for a while now. Not only has she helped me significantly improve my Japanese, but she also helped me to prepare for my trip to Japan. She provided me a lesson that reviewed information and subjects that would be most useful during my trip. For example, hair salon terms and questions (as I will visit a salon while there). I appreciate that she always goes above and beyond to make sure I understand each concept. She also has made it easy for me to discuss topics, in Japanese, that I normally speak about in my native language so I feel myself becoming more comfortable speaking each lesson. I wholeheartedly recommend her lessons! Thank you Shoko 先生!

I’ve had a few lessons and I already feel confident and motivated. Shoko 先生 always takes the time to make sure I understand everything and answers my questions thoroughly. The homework and flash cards she provides have allowed me to remember the lesson and apply the knowledge I’ve accumulated. I appreciate you, Shoko 先生, for your efforts!
