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!

Seriously a great teacher! She makes me want to go to Japanese class even though it is tough lol. Always encouraging and praising students.
