We are thrilled to have found Yuko to tutor our son in Japanese. She is everything you want in an educator for your child: she is fun, patient, informed and responsible. She makes learning fun and effective. Our son looks forward to his time with her and is benefiting tremendously from their lessons. Five stars all the way!!!!!

Yuko has inspired my daughter while fostering her interest to study Japanese. They have learned the language as they study the culture through Japanese cooking, crafts and other activities. I am so pleased with these enriching lessons. They have added a big boost to her education and interest!

Yuko has a great tutoring style. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and deep knowledge of Japanese language and culture. We especially appreciated her insights about Japanese idioms. We are intermediate level adult students and Yuko made us feel like we can converse! I look forward to learning more from her.

She will be the BEST tutor you will ever find, hands down. She encompasses the language and culture in a way that is both charming and captivating. We have only seen her twice and feel like she has been a gift to us. No need to look elsewhere!!!

Yuko is the best Japanese teacher! I'm so glad to have her teaching me Japanese! She taught me many things that I cannot learn from my school! Like Japanese culture and some useful daily words. I am really passionate in japan and its culture! I can't wait for every Friday now!!
