Meet the team
Nice to meet you! I’m Yoko 😊
I was born and raised in Tokyo and am now based in London, UK. Teaching Japanese is my passion, and I’ve been doing it for over 10 years.
I speak Japanese (native), English, and Portuguese, and I’ve taught students from many countries at various levels. I love seeing my students gain confidence step by step, and I create fun, personalized lessons tailored to each learner’s goals and pace. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, watching movies, and flamenco dancing.
Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!

Testimonials
Fantastic tutor, helped us prepare for holiday
My partner and I had several lessons with Maiko to prepare for a holiday to Japan. Maiko was an enthusiastic and friendly tutor who helped us by designing a curriculum, and put together materials about greeting people, travel, food, and Japanese interest. Maiko taught us key phrases and ideas from each section, and answered any questions we had about grammar and usage. Our sessions were very enjoyable and this was really useful for our trip. We have recommended her to several friends. Thanks so much Maiko!
