Excellent, fun and caring teacher, great for any levels

Noriko sensei is a very experienced teacher. I have taken general courses, JLPT courses, as well as customized courses from her. She is excellent at explaining grammar structures, helping her students understand nuances of the language (absolute plus when it gets more advanced), and adjusting her style, course content, or speed based on the student’s needs. She also has a good sense of humor and finds creative ways to structure the classes to cater to each student, which makes the learning process extra enjoyable. I’ve been taking classes with Noriko sensei for years and am taking more even after I passed N1 with all her help. Highly recommend, no matter what level you’re at!

Noriko Sensei is patient, knowledgable, and caring. If she had a superpower, I’d say it is the ability to take even the most confusing grammar and explain it in a way that is easy to comprehend. I began studying with her at the beginning level (Minna no Nihongo, chapter 14) and she helped me pass both the JLPT N5 three years ago and the N3 last year (I skipped N4). She encouraged me in that time to speak in Japanese as much as possible and I’d say our lessons are now about 90% in Japanese. She also has a good sense of humor and I always look forward to our lessons. Highly recommended!
