I'm a passionate tutor who teaches Japanese and few other subjects. I'm a Native Japanese speaker who was born and raised in Japan. I speak English fluently. I received a Bachelor of Education and Fine Arts in Japan, Master of Architecture and MBA in the U.S. I'm a licensed architect and sustainable design professional as well.
Teaching is my passion - as much as architecture - and what I'm good at. I listen and teach patiently from my heart. For many years, I've been tutoring very...

Good first lesson
Kyoko was very patient with my 12-year-old daughter and did a good job of explaining things. Look forward to lesson 2. She was very professional and encouraging.

Very skilled and patient
We are very happy with Kyoko, she really is good in explaining and simplifying the process. As a 69 and a 9 year old son taking the tutoring together she is very straightforward in her approach.

Friendly, helpful, super nice tutor
Kyoko was a big help to me today. I’m learning Japanese and finally started working with a tutor. Kyoko helped reinforce what I knew and was very encouraging and supportive. She pointed out some very useful basic phrases and she motivated me to study some things I neglected trying to learn on my own. I’m so happy today was a great experience.

Great Japanese Teacher
Kyoko has a nice way to connect with my son, and keep my son interested and engaged. She is friendly and flexible. She is obviously a master of the subject.

Excellent
My first session with Kyoko was both very fun and educational! We were able to cover a fair amount of material in two hours but it did not feel rushed at all, and we did not move on to the next subject until I was comfortable. Kyoko is a very kind and knowledgeable educator, and I am very happy to have her as my tutor!

Innovative, flexible, knowledgeable, and patient
Kyoko has been wonderful with our 9 year old son, who's approach to piano has mostly precluded scales and theory...he hears a great song, then learns to play it! With Kyoko's masterful guidance, he is also now reading music and playing scales and mindful of proper finger placement. And he still plays at will, for fun...we are so grateful for her thoughtful guidance, and caring approach! Best of luck, Kyoko. We'll miss you

Knowledgeable and kind tutor.
Kyoko met four times with a small group in our office. She made it clear what was expected of us to reach our goals, and we enjoyed our classes very much. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and finally understanding how much time we would have to dedicate to studying, our group decided to discontinue lessons. This is no reflection at all on Kyoko. If we had more time we would definitely have continued our classes with her.

Knowledgable and Patient Tutor
Kyoko is a very knowledgable and patient tutor. Our first lesson was very thorough and covered the Japanese writing system of Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. We learned the pronunciation of Hiragana and Katakana and how to say "hello", "goodbye", "good morning", and "goodnight". We look forward to more lessons with Kyoko!

First lesson, couldn't be happier
I had my first lesson with Kyoko recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. She has her plate full with me, I must say. I not only want speaking and listening practice, but also help with grammar and vocab in order to meet my goal of passing the N1 level of the JLPT in December. I'm confident I'll get there with her help. We had a very interesting conversation and I am looking forward to studying with her more.

Best Japanese tutor!
Kyoko is so great! My daughter loves her lessons and can't wait for the next one! We recommend Kyoko if you are looking for a patient expert! She takes a lot of Pride in tutoring her students. And the scheduling is very easy.
