Yako Kimura

Yako-sensei is so sweet and helpful! She helped me speak in grammatically correct sentences and was quick to stop and explain the words she used when I didn't understand. I felt completely comfortable speaking and making mistakes because I knew that she would help me speak better. ありがとうございました、木村先生！

Another wonderful class and a great opportunity to practice my accent and conversation. I recently discovered Kimura sensei's podcast on spotify, and I like hearing it during work. She has such a pleasant voice! Thank you again for your patience and kind words.

Avant de commencer la leçon, j’étais assez stressé. Mais dès son arrivée, la professeure a su me mettre en confiance. Elle s'est adaptée à mon niveau et m’a aidé à améliorer ma prononciation, malgré mes lacunes. Je recommande vivement cette enseignante et j’ai hâte de suivre ma première leçon !

Long-term Japanese language learner here. I can't recommend Yako highly enough: she's knowledgdable, professional, and always tailors lessons to the needs of her students. On top of that, she's also just a fun person to talk to!

In addition to being excellent at explaining the nuances of the Japanese language, Yako also provides fascinating details of the history of the Japanese language.

Yako’s calm and assured manner put me at ease. She is patient and also helped me with my pronunciation. It is intimidating to talk to a stranger in a language that you don’t know, but Yako made it feel natural and the time flew by. Highly recommend meeting Yako!
