Hello, I'm Yoko.
I used to work at a Japanese language school in Tokyo.
Now, I teach Japanese to elementary and junior high school students who have come from overseas.
Before becoming a teacher, I worked for 15 years at an IT company.
My hobbies include traveling, watching Korean dramas, and trying food from different countries.
On my days off, I study English and Chinese, and spend a lot of time playing with my child.Me as a Teacher

Do you think it's more important to practice conversation than to learn grammar?
I think that idea makes sense.
However, without a basic understanding of grammar, it's difficult to speak correct Japanese.
That's why I want to teach grammar carefully to beginners.
On top of that, we will also practice a lot of conversation.My teaching material

Today I had a grammar for beginners class with Yoko-San. The lesson was absolutely useful and now I feel very confident about using the sentence structure we covered. Thank you Yoko-San for helping me improve so much!

I have been having lessons with Yoko-san consistently once a week for almost two years now. I am very happy with how Yoko-san is supporting my learning journey. Her materials are great and neatly organised online so I can always retrieve past lessons. Even though I mostly book grammar-based classes, she always creates occasions for quite a bit of chatting. As a result I can now express myself more freely. Based on my experience, I recommend Yoko-san to anyone who wants to learn Japanese!

Another lovely lesson from Yoko! She is so supportive - especially when I’m trying to talk about a whole concept using just 2 or 3 words that I remember!

I have been studying Japanese with Yoko-san for a year anf a half now. I did both conversation and grammar classes. I started as a complete beginner and am now A2 level using Marugoto. I do not always have time to study as I work full time. Yet, I am now able to have conversations and express many things in Japanese! Every lesson with Yoko-san is a joyful and very rewarding experience. She is very committed to the success of her students and shares very useful materials immediately after class. I could not recommend Yoko-san strongly enough: she is a really great teacher!
