Noriko has over ten years professional full-time experience teaching Japanese to a wide variety of students in all age groups. This has run the gamut from large classes in person to individual online courses. She has taught all skill levels from rank beginners to native speakers - including business Japanese, JLPT Prep, and even other Japanese language teachers. She has made and developed courses and managed other teachersl. In 2022, Noriko took and passed the official Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test from the JEES which proved both her competency and her commitment to continual improvement.

What can I say about Noriko Sensei other than she’s amazing? I have been studying with her for about four years, and I recommend her highly.
Not only is she able to take very complex grammar points and make it easy to understand, but her lessons are very flexible in terms of content. She can either teach from a book or if you have special concerns or topics that you want to learn, she provide content that explains everything in detail. She helped me study for the JLPT, as well as understand Japanese culture.

I studied with Noriko-sensei for several months and she is a very skillful Japanese instructor. Her class was packed full of useful knowledge. She would always include personal conversational topics and current events as well as give many examples of high utility vocabulary and the most important grammar structures. We met online and her classes included great visual supports and a summary of the learning that was covered each class. I highly recommend Noriko-sensei for anyone hoping to improve their Japanese reading, writing, and speaking abilities.

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Noriko sensei for over a year and i highly recommend her. During this time my Japanese has improved greatly. She also makes the lessons fun as well as filled with useful material. You will not be disappointed with these lessons or with the improvement of your skills.
