I have just finished my 50th lesson with Atsuko San. She is a very attentive teacher that takes the time out to adjust lessons to my liking and areas I would like to target. Since having started with her, my listening in Japanese has improved tremendously as well as my reading. Thank you Atsuko San!

Atsuko-San is very kind and polite. I'm living in Japan and currently expecting my first baby. I aksed if she could teach me Japanese for my hospital stay while giving birth.
She prepared new lesson material for me. Im very grateful i can understand key words for this situation as it can be scary.
ありがとうございます！^-^

Atsuko-sensei somehow manages to push while keeping the lesson fun. She never phones it in. I highly recommend her to students willing to do some work.

I have been studying with Atsuko-sensei for almost two years now, and with her help I was able to pass the JLPT N3 this year. Atsuko-sensei is a wonderful teacher who is attentive to the needs of her students. I highly recommend studying Japanese with Atsuko-sensei!

Atsuko Sensei is really good. I appreciate that she keeps me on task. It's so hard to describe why a teacher is good. She's organized and focused and her high level of experience is really obvious when you work with her. At the same time, she manages to make it enjoyable.
