YURI.

A+

Yuri teaches the entire class in Japanese which I think is the most effective way to learn Japanese, even at fairly beginning levels. The teacher needs a higher level of skill to do this and Yuri is a skilled teacher. I would recommend her for anyone who is willing to commit some time to study. Her class is also fun.

I've been studying with Yuri San for quite some time now and I like how patient she is with me. I constantly make all kinds of mistakes but she never gets upset and she really likes to teach. The lessons are going at a pace that keeps with my learning ability and never overwhelm me with more than I can handle. I really like how things are going and I'm practicing with Yuri San every week.

Here are the things I appreciate about Yuri. She helps keep me moving forward with my Japanese. She manages to stay focused and still keep the classes relaxed and enjoyable. She seems to have a natural sense of how much to correction to give. She uses Japanese whenever possible and avoids simply giving me the word in English. I highly recommend her for the student who can hold a conversation in Japanese, but wants to improve and reach a higher level.

I think Yuri is an exceptional teacher. I am willing to put some time into improving my Japanese and I appreciate her help. She suggested the Marugoto textbook series which is a really good text with a lot of audio and other materials. I really like Yuri's lessons.

This will be very challenging for me, but I enjoyed this first lesson and plan to continue.
