Hi. I'm so thrilled that you want to learn Japanese. My name is Yoko which means "sun's child" in Kanji (Chinese characters). My parents chose this name for me so that I could have a cheerful and happy life. Learning a language should be a fun experience. Isn't it fantastic that you will be able to communicate with people that you never imagined you'd be able to speak with? You will have the opportunity to experience a new and different culture! That's exciting! I have my bachelor's ...

We went over introductions and basic conversations. She is helpful and takes the time to explain everything. I am lucky to have found her.

Yoko-sensei is always on time and thoroughly prepared for every lesson. I felt she really listened to what I wanted from my tutoring sessions and has developed my lessons in accordance with that. She is friendly and knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and very helpful in pursuing language learning at the pace that is right for me.

I was very skeptical my daughter would maintain her desire to learn Japanese, since the language is so different from her native English. However, she has not only stayed focused on her desire to learn more about the language and the culture,...she is genuinely excited and can't wait to show me what she has learned after each lesson. Yoko is the source of my daughter's excitement about learning Japanese, and I am SO happy we found her. Because she is a native speaker AND she worked in the local school disctrict, she brings a unique balance of patience and understanding to new students of Japanese. My daughter can be easily disappointed when she is not progressing fast enough, or is struggling with learning something new,...but Yoko has managed to keep my daughter calm and still push her at a steady pace - I am SO impressed with her progress in such a short time. If you are considering a Japanese tutor, then I would strongly receommend you consider Yoko as your language guide - she's FANTASTIC !!
