Satomi's Feedback

I am a casual learner, with a small amount of prior knowledge (of Japanese). I find Satomi's lessons to be very insightful, encouraging and well-paced. She uses memorable visual aids, provides contextual background to why words and Kanji are the way they are, creates stories that help make things like the days of the week more easily memorable, and follows up each lesson with optional homework, which I'm finding to be of great help. If I had the time, I'd have more than one lesson a week. I highly recommend her.

In my opinion, Satomi - is a true educator. I am grateful that I found such a flexible, understanding and professional pedagogue for my 16 year old son. My son has social anxiety, yet, Satomi found her unique way of communicating with him and passing her knowledge. Thank you Satomi :)

Satomi was excellent with my daughter. She really made the lessons enjoyable and very informative. My daughter within few sessions started to converse in Japanese to our amazement. My daughter is very interested in Japanese culture and language and was so happy after every class. We have seen significant improvement. I would recommend Satomi to any parent who wishes to let their child enjoy the language and learn and see quick improvements.
Thank you so much Satomi

If you are looking to learn Japanese then seriously look no further. All of the previous reviews are 100% accurate, genuine and are also a true reflection of my experience of learning with Satomi.
Her techniques, explanation and guidance are structured in such a way that makes you learn in your own time at your own pace. Satomi creates an environment that is relaxed, comfortable and fun to learn in. She is a caring professional tutor.
Looking to stay with Satomi for a year to learn as much of the language and culture as possible before going to Japan on vacation in winter 2024. (says it all really).
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Satomi.

Satomi is good at what she does it well. My son gets on well with her and that's that matter. She has the patience of a saint

Satomi is a great tutor.

I have completed 5 lessons with her and am very impressed. Her lessons are both challenging and fun, however she is patient and always takes the time to explain anything not understood.

Would highly recommend.

Before we found Satomi, my 10-years-old daughter had spent 1 year with a tutor, without learning much.
Within two months of learning from Satomi, she was able to confidently exchange greetings in Japanese.

Satomi is a highly skilled professional with a structured approach to teaching Japanese. She leverages her student's strengths to their advantage and maximises learning through guidance, coaching, and follow-ups.

A year on, my daughter is now able to confidently converse in Japanese at intermediate level and it is improving with time.

I am ever so grateful to Satomi for her professionalism and impact on her student.

Thanks so much Satomi… !!!

Satomi is a great tutor. Her lessons are interesting, challenging and fun. She is always patient and gives clear, easy to understand explanations. She has a lot of good resources she uses with her teaching and sets homework which means you can study outside of lessons. She is friendly, helpful and fun to talk to. I highly recommend working with Satomi to further your Japanese studies.

Well prepared, friendly and reliable

We have found Satomi, to be totally professional, personable and an all round excellent tutor. My daughter looks forward to going every week and is making wonderful progress.

Been wanting to learn Japanese for a while and attempted to self study with little success, then I started working with Satomi. Satomi is a brilliant tutor. Her lessons are fun and educational and I feel in the short amount of time I have been working with her I have improved massively. Highly recommended!

Satomi is an excellent tutor and we are so grateful to have found her. She has honestly assessed my daughter’s Japanese standard and tailored her approach to suit her needs for GCSE next summer.
