Etsuko

I really enjoyed my trial lesson with Etsuko-san! She was enthusiastic, and asked great questions to provide specific sentences and phrases to study. I'm looking forward to future lessons!

The lesson was a mix of conversation and reading an article. Etsuko was patient and helpful, repeated anything I didn’t understand, and answered all of my questions. She also followed up the lesson by sending me some examples of an expression I was unfamiliar with.

Thanks to Etsuko, I passed JLPT N3 effortlessly, and with perfect scores in the reading and listening sections.

My first lesson with Etsuko-sensei exceeded my expectations. Prior to our first lesson, we discussed my motivations, overall goals, and grammar areas where I really wanted to improve over the message board both in Japanese and English. Her messages were thorough with a very fast response time! During the lesson, Etsuko-sensei was incredibly supportive, patient and kind, and she immediately included the material content I requested. I just booked a lesson package with her, and can’t wait to see my improvement overtime with this awesome teacher!

In today’s lesson we read a short story and had a thoughtful discussion about home-cooked foods and cultural practices. Etsuko always creates a comfortable environment for both language learning and cultural exchange, making each session engaging and valuable.

My teacher is caring and flexible to adjust her time and material to meet my need.
