Japanese . Tsuchiya Y 3 Months Ago

Tsuchiya sensei was awesome. In the beginning when you first meet her she is a little bit scary, but once you spend time with her you realize she is just a wonderful woman and teacher! She wants to see you succeed so she dos put you to the test, but work hard and you will be rewarded! Love her

Had Tsuchiya for J 1-3. Cares a lot about her students, wants them to succeed, and always makes herself available for tutoring, answering questions, and helping both in-person and via email. Japanese has a huge learning curve, yet she made it so much more manageable. Always brought positive energy, humor, and engagement to lectures. Ichiban Sensei!
