Kyoko Sensei helped me gain confidence with my conversational skills and I have definitely improved thanks to her. From the beginning Kyoko-San made me feel comfortable; she was patient and diligent. I really enjoyed her teaching style. Would definitely recommend!

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 :)

we had fun during the lesson. my question to practice together was honoured which I appreciate very much. どうもありがとうございます

Today we did a lot of speaking practice. It is difficult to speak for me when I need to make the sentences myself, but Kyoko - sensei is very patient and rewarding. That is motivating me!

I had a trial lesson with Kyoko which immediately boosted my confidence in what I already know and my ability to learn more. Kyoko was well prepared, listened well to my needs and encouraged me to speak and ask questions too. Thank you

it was wonderful that the teacher incorporated the news into the lesson. I love to hear about history and culture as well to understand things better.
