Satomi san is a great tutor. She is always prepared for the lesson, reflects the students' needs in her approach and exercises she covers with the student, and has oodles of patience. Hope you get to be taught by Satomi san.

I have been having lessons with Satomi for 16 months, and my Japanese skills have improved immensely during this time. Satomi tailors her lessons to whatever aspect of learning Japanese that you want. In my lessons, I have focused particularly on speaking, and from initially struggling to form sentences, I am now much more confident in my ability and able to have conversations in Japanese. Every part of the lessons can be customised, including what type of homework you want and the textbooks you want to use. Alongside this, Satomi also uses a variety of useful visual aids to support your learning. Satomi is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Japanese and is particularly good at explaining the nuances between similar expressions, grammar points, and words. She can create examples on the fly to illustrate these differences, which help reinforce my understanding. She is patient, knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to, and I always look forward to my lessons. I highly recomm

I've been studying Japanese with Satomi since the beginning of 2026 and it's been a really enjoyable and rewarding experience. Satomi is easy to talk to, consistently well-prepared and punctual, and very adept at breaking concepts down and explaining them to make them as clear as possible, sometimes using tools such as mnemonics and cue cards. I think Satomi strikes a perfect balance between maintaining and consolidating what you have already learned and challenging you to think on the spot and advance a little further out of your comfort zone with each session. I personally love her style of teaching and I believe I have been making steady progress. If you have any interest in reading, writing and/or speaking Japanese, I would highly recommend Satomi to support you in learning a new language.

A true Japanese knowledge transfer Tutor. Satomi san has helped me understand the knowledge of Japanese and the way the language is expressed in this country. Thank you.

An excellent tutor, able to tailor lessons to suit your level and experience. Knowledgable and able to explain both what something is along with why it is which really helps me understand. Kind and approachable, highly recommend.

I highly recommend Satomi for anyone looking to learn Japanese. She has a deep insight into the language and explains complex grammar and cultural nuances meticulously, meaning fewer mistakes are made once the concepts sink in. She expands the material to cover my specific areas of interest and uses visual aids to keep the lessons engaging. The varied formats of the weekly homework are also very helpful for keeping me motivated between the lessons.
