Saeko Yamaguchi

I'm really happy about my first real class with 山口先生. The class was very well balanced. For everything we covered, we did some practice. We also did some revision, which is very important. Also, 山口先生 answered all the questions that I had before class and that I got during the class. She was able to explain more complex things in several different ways when I was struggling a bit. For an hour long class, I'm very happy with the amount of material that we were able to cover. The last but not least, I think 山口先生 has a great personality, which helps a lot. She's very cheerful, positive and supportive. She created a friendly and productive atmosphere in the class. ありがとうございました for the class ))

About half a year ago I started taking lessons with Yamaguchi Sensei to improve my speaking skills and increase the efficiency of my Japanese learning in general. Yamaguchi Sensei is a professional, competent, and very welcoming person who manages to create a comfortable atmosphere. She adapts to my learning rhythm and my individual language strengths and weaknesses, so that every lesson is tailored to my needs. Lesson content is dynamic and evolves over time so that each lesson has a similar structure, but the content adapts to the needs of the student. She is fun to talk to and is always well prepared for each class. Now, after taking a few lessons, I can say that I feel a lot more confident when speaking Japanese, and my ability to speak has generally developed well. Personally, I don't have to look around for another teacher and can really recommend Yamaguchi Sensei to everyone. 今までありがとうございます！次のレッスンが楽しみです。

Der Japanischunterricht ist ein echtes Highlight in meiner Woche. Mit viel Fachwissen und einer sympathischen Persönlichkeit schafft sie es, die japanische Sprache lebendig und verständlich zu vermitteln. Besonders schätze ich ihre individuelle Förderung und die vielseitigen Übungen. Am liebsten würde ich jeden Tag Unterricht bei ihr nehmen, leider erlaubt dies mein Budget aktuell nicht. Angesichts der ausgezeichneten Unterrichtsqualität ist der Preis auf italki sehr fair.

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Saeko-sensei for over a year now and I highly recommend her lessons. I have to admit that Saeko-sensei is always better prepared for our lessons than I am. Her tailor-made approach makes lessons highly relevant to my own personal situation. I've chosen the Genki path as a backbone for my learning and Saeko-sensei always complements it by the necessary additional material. Saeko-sensei is always very responsive to any additional requests and questions modifying the learning path to suit my needs. Lessons have a clear structure and moreover there is a bridge from one lesson to another through a review of the main points covered in the previous lesson. Thank you!

山口先生は本格的なプロフェッショナルです。フィードバックは簡潔明瞭で分かりやすいです。

I’ve had two 30-minute lessons with Saeko-sensei, and both have been incredibly helpful for my speaking practice. She has taught me practical tactics to improve my pronunciation. Her sessions are simple yet effective in developing my Japanese “muscles.” Each lesson has given me a clear understanding of my problem areas, allowing me to focus on what is important. Her English is excellent, so she has great insight into how English speakers can correct mistakes and refine their pronunciation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a structured yet approachable way to improve their Japanese speaking, reading, and writing!
