Shoko Ishida

Shoko sensei is amazing. I learned a lot from her. Looking forward to booking more lessons. I highly recommend her.

I had my first lesson with Shoko in September 2022. And guess what? I'm still here. That should say it all, shouldn't it? Shoko is by far the best Japanese teacher I've ever had. Especially for me, who is a very anxious person, doesn't like approaching strangers and hates talking on the phone (not good conditions for online lessons, by the way), lessons with Shoko are always the highlight of my week. She challenges without overwhelming, gives tips and hints without anticipating the answer. Her warm and courteous manner makes you feel like you're at a good friend's house right from the start instead of in a " awkward" teacher-student online situation. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, if you want to have fun learning Japanese, you should definitely give Shoko a try!

Shoko-san is such a wonderful, knowledgeable teacher who always manages to find the perfect energy to help me with my Japanese language skills! Really looking forward to more lessons with her!

Doing lessons with Shoko-sensei has helped me develop more confidence with speaking, simply because she is always so encouraging, patient and enthusiastic. I always look forward to all our conversations!

Sensei is a patient and very helpful in helping me learn Japanese! Her feedback is always appreciated!

Shoko-san is a wonderful teacher who is always so attentive and engaging! It's the perfect mix of talking casually about things that interest me while still being very professional and dedicated to improving my grammar and vocabulary. Her tailored lessons are incredible and I am always learning so much! I'm really looking forward to more lessons with her!
