Introduction

*** $20 introductory lesson (includes consultation) is available now!! *** Hi, I'm Yoko. I'm a native Japanese speaker, born in Japan. I attended school and college in Japan. Now, I am living in the States with my family. Being a native Japanese, I am a fluent speaker of all levels of the Japanese language. I've been teaching the Japanese language for four years (since 2019). I became a certified Japanese language teacher in March 2020. I have also been teaching English as a second language for seven years. I understand the challenges of learning a second language and I'm able to help students keep moving forward. In the lessons, we will have discussions in English (as needed), but will always focus on progressing in Japanese language conversation. As always, we will try to have fun lessons so that you can relax and enjoy each lesson without pressure. We will discuss and adjust the class schedule as necessary to make a customized plan that fits your needs. Online Private Courses via Zoom: •　Beginner/Starter Japanese lessons [textbooks: Genki, Obento Deluxe, Adventures in Japanese] •　JLPT N5/N4 preparation lessons •　Japanese Travel lessons •　Conversation lessons •　Writing (Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji) lessons •　School and classwork tutoring •　Customized lessons Online Group Lesson courses via Zoom: - as per your request •　Writing (Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji) group lessons •　Youth entry-level group lessons for junior/high school students •　Japanese Travel lessons •　Beginner/Starter Japanese lessons Let's get started learning Japanese. All of the courses include some Japanese cultural education as well; this assists you as a student, as the Japanese language cannot be fully mastered without an understanding of the culture. Beginner and starting students are welcome, as well as younger school-age children, 11 years and older, are welcome. (A new group lesson is a good deal)  Please ask me any questions you may have. One $20 30-minute trial lesson and joint planning session are available per your request.

I have only recently started my lessons with Yoko Sensei, but they have quickly become the highlight of my week! The trial lesson was a great way to meet and discuss the best way to work towards my Japanese goals. I only wish I could afford to do lessons more often! どうもありがとうございます Yoko 先生！

Thank you very much for the great review.  I'm impressed that you have memorized a lot of vocabularies and phrases already and are able to have basic conversations with me.  I'm excited you speak Japanese proficiently in the near future.  Regards, Yoko

Yoko Sensee is the best teacher I could ask for! She breaks down the learning better than any app ever could. I feel I’m learning fast and efficiently.
