Yuto Yamamoto

With over two years of experience in teaching, coupled with a solid background in linguistics and a keen interest in the science of language acquisition, I bring a thoughtful and informed approach to teaching Japanese. I have a strong understanding of Japanese grammar and native speech patterns. My knowledge of linguistics enables me to explain the “why” behind language concepts, making learning clear and effective. I am dedicated to supporting and motivating students on their path to achieving fluency in Japanese.
