I've had a wonderful lesson with Naoko sensei. She is a great teacher! She is very patient and I really appreciate the format of her lecture. I'm confident that any student that is disciplined will be successful with her as a teacher.

Today's lesson was a well-needed overview of particles and continuation into the world of verbs. As always Naoko sensei is great at what she does, kind, patient and motivational. Looking forward to future lessons. :)

I really enjoy today class. Reviewing the grammar and then doing the exercise was perfect to check and consolidate my understanding. Really motivating. Thanks for the class.

Teaching Approach
Speaking, Reading, Writing, Listening, Grammar (depending on my student's needs. I usually teach all areas so that my students are versatile!)
I usually use English (or Greek when my student is Greek) ONLY for beginners.
From the intermediate level, we try to talk mainly in Japanese because you can!
