I've now taken 25 lessons with Kyoko! She brings her own materials and has plenty of ideas for things to work on, but she's also completely open if you want to do something specific. She's good at explaining things in English, creating a structured plan for you (if that's what you want), and she gives you a .pdf of the lesson materials after the lesson. I have several teachers that I use for different things on iTalki, but I recommend Kyoko if you need to build a solid foundation. She's extremely friendly and patient, so she'd be a good fit if you're a little nervous about speaking. Great teacher and a nice person to talk to :)

Well structured lessons and great personality, lots of encouragement too!

Kyoko sensei prepares lessons to suit my needs and is very helpful answering my questions and explaining things. Thank you Kyoko sensei for helping me to learn more Japanese!

we had fun talking about time. Kyoko sensei was motivating me when I made mistakes and supportive at all times.

Kyoko-san is a very kind and supportive teacher, it is really good fun to learn Japanese with her.

We talked about days, months en years and about baseball! I got room to speak with and listen to Kyoko - sensei. She is very motivating and compassionate.
