                  24365 open for your questions / feedback sheets every lesson — How did you learn your native language? We learn our native language not from reading but listening and our environment such as people around us. That’s why, I think learning a language through listening and speaking , and then practicing reading and writing, is the best way to learn a language.

                  Why choose Kyoko S.

                  "Kyoko is a flexible, energetic, and compassionate language coach; she also offers highly competitive rates. She reached out to me while I was searching for a tutor and I intend to stay with her awhile. She is excellent at quickly building rapport to help you feel at ease, regardless of skill level; she shapes lessons around your own interests; and unlike many other Japanese language coaches on Preply, Kyoko understands that language acquisition is best built through conversation and speaking, rather than textbooks, drills, and grammar charts. Kyoko puts the student first, structuring the classes around my own learning preferences; she is also cheerful, and there is much laughter and enjoyment in each session. Language learning should be fun, enjoyable, engaging, and yet challenging; Kyoko, at least thus far, checks all these boxes. And with her competitive rates, students can afford to meet with her multiple times a week, and thus improve their Japanese at a faster rate. Having been a foreign language instructor previously myself, I recognize the good teaching practices she utilizes; I also recognize the benefits of attending classes more than once per week, and I look forward to continuing to work with her on a more frequent basis from this point on.

                          Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

                          🌆 How can I master Japanese in Suffolk, VA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

                          Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have four main possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Suffolk, VA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your 2nd option can be local for-profit language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can find a private Japanese tutor in Suffolk, VA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Suffolk, VA and online Japanese tutors.

                          🎟 Is it cheap to learn Japanese and what do Japanese tutors charge?

                          For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the overall charge for fifty or so instruction hours each semester. Language academies and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and student demand. Average student satisfaction for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

                          📚 What level of Japanese do I need to sign up for a course?
