Saeko Yamaguchi

I'm really happy about my first real class with 山口先生. The class was very well balanced. For everything we covered, we did some practice. We also did some revision, which is very important. Also, 山口先生 answered all the questions that I had before class and that I got during the class. She was able to explain more complex things in several different ways when I was struggling a bit. For an hour long class, I'm very happy with the amount of material that we were able to cover. The last but not least, I think 山口先生 has a great personality, which helps a lot. She's very cheerful, positive and supportive. She created a friendly and productive atmosphere in the class. ありがとうございました for the class ))

About half a year ago I started taking lessons with Yamaguchi Sensei to improve my speaking skills and increase the efficiency of my Japanese learning in general. Yamaguchi Sensei is a professional, competent, and very welcoming person who manages to create a comfortable atmosphere. She adapts to my learning rhythm and my individual language strengths and weaknesses, so that every lesson is tailored to my needs. Lesson content is dynamic and evolves over time so that each lesson has a similar structure, but the content adapts to the needs of the student. She is fun to talk to and is always well prepared for each class. Now, after taking a few lessons, I can say that I feel a lot more confident when speaking Japanese, and my ability to speak has generally developed well. Personally, I don't have to look around for another teacher and can really recommend Yamaguchi Sensei to everyone. 今までありがとうございます！次のレッスンが楽しみです。

Saeko-sensei is amazing. She was very thorough asking me what my overall goals were, how I learned, and what topics I wanted to cover and then she sent me the materials and tailor-made a lesson for me. It was one of my best lessons and experiences on italki so far. She is very good at explaining concepts in various ways and good at explaining what you're getting wrong and how to correct it. I did a trial session with her and it was amazing. I've booked 5 more lessons. If you're curious and want a good lesson that's tailored to your experience and the things you'd like to improve, you should try a lesson with Saeko-sensei.

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Saeko-sensei for over a year now and I highly recommend her lessons. I have to admit that Saeko-sensei is always better prepared for our lessons than I am. Her tailor-made approach makes lessons highly relevant to my own personal situation. I've chosen the Genki path as a backbone for my learning and Saeko-sensei always complements it by the necessary additional material. Saeko-sensei is always very responsive to any additional requests and questions modifying the learning path to suit my needs. Lessons have a clear structure and moreover there is a bridge from one lesson to another through a review of the main points covered in the previous lesson. Thank you!

Saeko-sensei is wonderful. She is very thorough and does an amazing job at finding out what you're doing and what you need so she can help you in the best way possible. She asks all the right questions so she can customize your lesson to meet your needs. She is good at adapting on the fly and making lessons fun and relevant. We read some Yotsubato! today and it gave me some vocabulary and a lot of context. My learning goals seen and respected. Saeko-sensei is a fantastic teacher.

I've taken 10 full lessons with Saeko sensei so far, and I've enjoyed them all. She's a very patient, knowledgeable, and kind teacher. She also really cares about you as a person in terms of your circumstances and caters to you with how much to challenge or teach you material. I feel like I'm in my happy space whenever I have a Japanese lesson with Saeko sensei. Thank you, Saeko sensei, for everything, and hopefully I will resume our lessons very soon! <3
