Atsuko

I was very nervous but Atsuko-sensei was very kind and helpful. I am beginning from scratch and she really took her time to explain things to me in detail. She did everything in her teaching style, she presented material, explained, guided, asked questions, and encouraged me. I will continue to work with her and I highly recommend everyone else do so as well.

Had another good lesson with Atsuko-sensei. She's very patient, and skilful at matching her Japanese to my level, so I can enjoy hearing about what she's been up to and learn a bit about Japanese culture. The materials for the "Elementary Grammar & Conversation" course are very good too, especially in conjunction with the book.

Atsuko-san was wonderful during our lesson! I am a complete beginner and was a little flustered, but she was so patient with me even during my mistakes! She is so happy and laughing with her during the lesson helped put me at ease. I look forward to more lessons with her!

My fiancé and I felt very engaged in Atsuko's first lesson! It was great to jump right into describing people's nationalities and occupations, and learning about negation, pronunciation, and compound sentences!

It was my first lesson with Atsuko, and I loved it! She's very warm and thoughtful, and her explanations are excellent. Everything just makes sense!

Atsuko is very kind and always has an interesting story to tell, or a topic to suggest for conversation. She always speaks in a way that’s understandable and makes sure to rephrase if needed. She’s well organised with her shared document where she writes the new structures and words we use in the lessons.
