Friendly Japanese tutor helps you learn Japanese language and introduces the culture

Before applying to do Japanese at Oxford University I did lessons with Kyoko! The lessons were a highlight of my week, everything was explained incredibly clearly and tailored to my interests in the Japanese language. When I was doing my interviews for University applications she helped me prepare, and I successfully got into Oxford! I am very grateful for Kyoko.

I studied with Kyoko for many years. I am a very anxious person and kyoko made me feel completely at easy with learning a new language from the first lesson. She is professional, kind, compassionate and thoroughly enjoyable to talk to. I enjoyed my lessons with her so much I made the decision to move to Japan where I live now. As much as I valued my lessons and the knowledge about Japanese language and Japanese culture, the thing I have valued the most is a life long friendship I have been able to grow with her. She is the best teacher I have ever had and genuinely helped me change my life. I could not recommend her enough as a sensei.

Kyoko is an outstanding tutor, she helped my son to learn Japanese. He really looked forward to the classes, kyoko made the classes both informative and enjoyable. The classes were also very reasonably priced. Can’t recommend her enough

Kyoko has been my tutor for nearly 5 years. She is thorough, professional and an extremely good teacher. Kyoko can quickly identify your weak spots and tailor make study sessions to help you improve. She is friendly, honest and kind and incredibly helpful, no matter if you are a beginner or more experienced. Excellent value and very flexible lessons. I really can't recommend her enough!

Kyoko has been teaching my autistic daughter Japanese online for the past 3years. She is organised, patient and friendly and makes her lessons enjoyable. She always includes useful and authentic Japanese in her lessons. My daughter sat her GCSE Japanese last summer and got a grade 8 under Kyoko's excellent tutoring. She has continued to do lessons with Kyoko as she simply enjoys learning Japanese. I highly recommend Kyoko for learning authentic Japanese.

Kyoko has taught my son for a number of years and he absolutely loves learning Japanese , which is a testament to Kyoko for keeping his passion for the language alive. He has achieved one of the top grades in gcse and is on his way to being completely fluent, and studying towards the JLPT, which is amazing bearing in mind he only started to learn the language, in lockdown, a few years ago. I would really recommend Kyoko as a tutor for her teaching skills, integrity and professionalism too.

I have been having lessons with Kyoko since June 2024 and have noticed an improvement in my understanding of Japanese especially grammar which she explains really well. She’s really friendly and always willing to be flexible to suit my schedule, I would highly recommend!

I have already had a few lessons with Kyoko so far, and she has been brilliant! Kyoko is super friendly, patient and knowledgeable, and has been helping me progress with my Japanese so much! Each lesson is fun and engaging, and Kyoko always provides great feedback. Kyoko also has a wealth of knowledge on Japanese culture, and happily shares insights during class to provide context when learning about sentence structure, greetings, grammar, polite etiquette. I would recommend Kyoko to anyone looking for a kind, supporting and thourough tutor. Thank you so much Kyoko!

Exceptional tutor! Kyoko is very friendly, easy to understand and speaks great English and Japanese. She is also very patient which helped me not to feel too pressured, whilst assisting with pronounciation and additional information on a whiteboard such as kanji characters. I received around 2-3 years of casual 1 hour weekly lessons which helped to enhance my speaking ability whilst dealing with a hectic work and family life. I would highly recommend Kyoko as your Japanese tutor, having a native Japanese speaker to help guide your studies, really can increase learning ten-fold! ?????

Kyoko tutored me via Skype before my walking trip to Japan. I found her very pleasant and her method of teaching effective. Her conversational style of teaching allowed me to learn and then use the language effectively in rural Japan. She also gave me many tips not available in books on how to negotiate a different language and culture.she initiated a love for Japanese films which I watch to this day.

Kyoko is a fabulous teacher who patiently explains the Japanese language and shares insights on Japanese culture. Her lessons include listening comprehension, reading, and speaking from day-1 in Japanese. Kyoko's lessons are the highlight of my week.

My daughter and I did not meet Kyoko in person. Nor did we red any reviews, so we gambled on our choice of tutor, but we had the best possible experience as she guided my daughter to obtain, one year earlier, a fantastic 9 in her GCSE exam ! Kyoko is reliable and friendly, making Japanese studies a walk through the park . My daughter loves her, her way of teaching and her positive personality! After her GCSE exam, my daughter has been taking fortnightly lessons (despite resuming her Japanese school studies) just because of the language passion Kyoko instilled in her soul. We fully recommend Kyoko !

Flexible online scheduling and very reliable platform for teaching. Loads of useful resources and a good range of focus on different aspects (reading, listening, speaking exercises).

I was her student for more than a year. She is a fantastic teacher. 5 Stars, easily. Patient, kind and very knowledgeable. If I have the time to continue my studies in the future I will go back to her without hesitation.
