Satoko

Every lesson with Satoko Sensei has been helpful, productive, natural, but most of all — fun! We work on new words and expressions and the occasional slang word even. Conversations flow and don’t feel pressured. I’m always given plenty of time to say what I’m trying to say. And even when I get confused, she gently guides the conversation back to the topic at hand. If you are thinking of starting Japanese conversation lessons this new year, you shouldn’t hesitate to try some lessons with Satoko. :)

先生とのレッスンはいつも楽しいです。先生は私の話をよく聞いてくれて、知らない単語の新しい語彙を教えてくれます。会話も上手で、いつも質問をしてくれるので、答える練習ができます。先生、ありがとうございます！

Satoko-san has a very warm and gentle personality and provides a very comfortable environment to practise my Japanese speaking skills. She is very encouraging and I always look forward to a lesson with her. ありがとうございます!

Satoko Sensei is fabulously helpful for getting started with Japanese conversation practice! She makes sure to make you feel at ease and is very encouraging. She gives helpful notes and feedback, all the while giving plenty of room for you to experiment and make mistakes which is just part of learning language anyway. The time flies by and doesn't feel like a boring language lesson. I would highly recommend taking some lessons with Satoko! :)

Satoko-san has helped me with Japanese for the past three years. She has always been attentive and invested in my progress. She is patient and knowledgeable. She helped me pass JLPT N5 and I’m about to take N3 in December. I always feel very grateful for her help!

すごく優しい先生です。楽しいレッスンを過ごしました。ありがとうございます！
