Mic Yukiko Murayama

Interesting lesson as usual. I can see that Yukiko-san is proficient in teaching; she is good at guiding students to think on their before giving them the correct answers. I enjoy this way of learning very much. Even if you get the answer wrong, you still learn a lot, compared to when you’re directly given the correct answer.

Yukiko can explain difficult grammar rules and nuances in a way that I can understand with my limited japanese... always impressed!!!

I started learning Japanese with Yukiko-sensei knowing only hiragana, some kanji and nearly no grammar at all. Today, after 139 lessons with her I am able to read NHK news in easy Japanese only occasionally using online dictionary. Yukiko-sensei is both energetic and patient teacher and her lessons are never boring.

Yukiko is always preparing every lesson very diligently and manages to teach my various new grammar structures but also always give me room to try out speaking Japanese on my own! It's very helpful at the beginning of every lesson to have a chat with her. She listens very patiently to my words, corrects me and helps me find a more natural way of saying things. Yukikos lesson give me the feeling that I learn real Japanese instead of textbook Japanese taught in various learning books. Please consider Yukiko as your Japanese teacher, as well :) I am always looking forward to our great lessons and also, my Japanese has improved a lot ever since our sessions. Thank you!

Same as always it was an amazing lessonヽ(≧▽≦)ﾉ Yukiko-San guided me through some exercises, which are all super helpful. I love how she explains everything so well and keeps notes on Google Docs for me to review. Thank you and see you in the next lesson!!

Today I told Yukiko-San about my trip to Nagoya, and we had a delightful conversation. And then we moved on to our textbook, which happens to be about traveling! Yukiko-San always guides me to talk, to think, and to try on my own with great patience!
