Atsuko-San always gives great lessons! I leave with lots of notes and new information. Our lessons are full of worksheets, conversations, reading and speaking practice, and details I feel like other Japanese teachers might overlook. She’s very meticulous and makes sure you don’t get away with the little mistakes which I appreciate, because it keeps me from developing bad habits. She cares a lot about her students and remembers a lot about them! Her lessons are always welcoming and useful!

I've been taking lessons with Atsuko San for close to 8 months, and she is a really fantastic teacher. She is lighthearted and fun, and she has lead me through the basics at a great pace while mixing in plenty of opportunity to practice what we learn in basic conversation. I had been trying to study independently for a year prior to starting these lessons, and working with Atsuko San has helped me contextualize and progress through my independent study greatly! If you're looking for a friendly and welcoming Japanese tutor who is incredibly responsive and helpful, I can't recommend her highly enough.

This was my first introduction to learning Japanese and we covered a basic sentence structure, I was speaking some Japanese throughout the class which is great and the tempo was stretching to the right level. Thank you!

Atsuko-san is an amazing Japanese teacher! She is always prepared with helpful materials and exercises. She's very patient (even when I make a lot of mistakes) and we end up laughing a lot. She has a very open mind and has personal experience learning a variety of different languages, so she really understands students' struggles with certain concepts. Atsuko-san makes every lesson fun; even when I'm tired or haven't practiced in a while, I feel comfortable jumping back in with her guidance. If you're like me and looking to learn Japanese from the very beginning, Atsuko-san is a great resource - she gives you the building blocks one by one and before you know it, you can start forming long sentences and complex ideas with ease. Japanese is a very challenging language, so between lessons you should still study every day and make sure to do your homework. :)

Atsuko san is a wonderful teacher. She is attentive and lets me ask questions and explains things in a way I can understand.

Atsuko-san is energetic and has a fun and patient way of teaching, especially when you have a hard time finding words or particles. I was very nervous, but she made me feel welcome.
