Shoko

I've been studying with Shoko さん for the past three months in preparation for a trip to Japan, and I cannot thank her enough for all the instruction she's provided! I did not have any Japanese experience, yet in just a short period, I feel I've learned so much and received such valuable speaking practice and encouragement from her. I always look forward to lessons and cannot recommend Shoko さん enough. If you want a kind, fun, and hardworking professor, Shoko さん is for you!

As aulas com a Shōko-sensei são tão boas que eu nem vejo o tempo passar! Quando me dei por mim, já havia passado 5 minutos do fim da aula. Excelente professora, muito atenciosa, divertida e motivadora! Recomendo sempre, para todo mundo!

Teacher Shoko is very encouraging, and she gently encourages and guides students to speak Japanese as if they are talking to a friend. It was definitely a pleasant experience having class with Shoko.

Shoko is everything I could have hoped for from a tutor. She listens patiently as I try to put what I've learned into practice, is kind and helpful in correcting mistakes, and truly goes the extra mile both during and after class to make sure my language skills are improving. I've learned so much since we started working together and I'm looking forward to continuing to study together in the new year!

Shoko-sensei should be your first choice for a new Japanese teacher! I've been working with her for a year now and I am greatly enjoying learning Japanese. Shoko-sensei is a big part of that; her curriculum has an excellent balance of reading, writing, speaking and listening in every lesson, and there's always a little time for a few laughs. お疲れ様でした！

The classes are amazing, they have helped me so much to improve my speaking skills. Totally recommend!
