Moi en tant que professeur
Born and raised in the Greater Tokyo area, friendly and accommodating to all :) Looking forward to seeing you in a trial lesson!
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
In my lessons, you will see slides filled with illustrations. You will also have a lot of opportunities to use Japanese in practical, everyday situations.
If you are a total beginner, I am happy to teach Hiragana & Katakana from scratch, step by step. Then, we will work through “Minna no Nihongo” to increase your confidence and ability.
I can also provide “Survival Japanese for Travel” (usually 3-4 lessons), which will enrich your visit to Japan even more.
For those at an Intermediate level or above, “Let's chat in Japanese” and “Let’s read the Bible in Japanese” are available.

Kyoko is encouraging and helped me with the conversation. She has patience and is willing to answer questions. We now are pacticing verbs, in this case 'iku'. I do notice progression and more confidence, thanks to the way she teaches.

Today I learned a lot of new words and we practiced a conversation. We also talked about the weather in Japanese. Kyoko sensei is always prepared and ready for class and is therefore a very reliable teacher. I do appreciate that as well.

Excellent first lesson! She came well-prepared and she did an excellent job of guiding the conversation. She was open to teach whatever I wanted to learn, but she also had well thought out topics that we could center our conversation on. I'm excited to take more lessons!

It was a fun lesson where I was shown a video about a cultural aspect and it was explained to me. I enjoyed that. We also practiced reading and conversation. I notice progression in speaking and feeling a more comfortable about it.
