    Japanese . Tsuchiya Y 8 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

    Japanese . Tsuchiya Y 2 Years Ago

    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!
