Both parents and children would like to express our deepest gratitude for your constant guidance.

You instantly understood that my oldest daughter was not good at expressing her opinions and was very reserved until she got used to it. It was the place where I could be the most honest.
I am so grateful to have seen her grow
lively, happy, and positive, and face English to an extent that even I could not believe.

My second daughter was not naturally calm and had a lot of goofiness, but thanks to your deep compassion and
persistent guidance,
she seems to have changed into a child who can think things through while enhancing her good qualities, no matter what the situation.
She is learning English. I am happy to see that she is really enjoying her English studies.

Not only her natural cheerfulness and humor, but also her rich experience makes her lessons very interesting and
easy to understand, and I think she stimulated my and my daughters' intellectual curiosity.
I am sure that they will never give up and will continue to move forward after returning to Japan.
In their long life, the days spent in ESL have become a great hope and opportunity for my daughters.
We owe it all to their education and the support they have given us.
Thank you very much for your help and support during our very short time in Los Angeles.

Please continue to help us
after we return to Japan.
Thank you very much.
-Mrs. Kayori-
Dear Dr. Yuko
Thank you so much for everything you have done for me in such a short time.
I think I have gained a lot of confidence in myself during this period.
To be honest, I was not good at studying. My test scores were so bad that my mom probably would have given up on me. I was going to America, and my English was "0 ( zero )", so
I was full of anxiety.
But I am so grateful to have met the legendary "ESL".

I still remember the first time I went to ESL, I took a competency test.
I couldn't even understand Eiken level 5, and I was really shocked because my sister could understand English better than me.

Then one day, my teacher gave me a homework assignment to memorize English words, and I tried to remember them all.
Then, my teacher praised me a lot and I was very happy.
I thought, "If I work harder, I will get more praise !," so I worked harder !

My teacher said, "Runa, you are working very hard !. I was really happy
when I heard that from my mom.
Then, when the teacher asked me if I wanted to take the Eiken Level 3 test ?,
I thought, "What ? ! I will ? ! pass the test," but I decided, "Yes ! I will definitely pass and brag to everyone !. I decided
to study hard not only in ESL lessons but also at home.
As a result, ? ! "I passed !"
I could not even understand the questions of EIKEN 5th grade, but I passed EIKEN 3rd grade in only half a year,
I was under pressure, but I still want to thank my teachers and parents who supported me ~ all the way. I am grateful to my teachers and parents for their support.

I would like to use this as an opportunity to gain confidence in myself and do my best in the future.
Thank you for your continued support !
-Ms. Runa-
It has been more than 10 years since my husband and I came to Los Angeles
from working for a food company in Sapporo, where we decided to set up a US factory.
I knocked on the door of Yuko's office right after I came to the U.S., so I have been going to school for more than 10 years.
The TOEIC score I took one year after coming to the U.S. was 620. At that time, I did not have the English skills to use in the field, and when I complained to the vendors, I was talking in the present tense even though I was talking about something that happened in the past.
Moreover, in a corner of my mind, I thought that I had to use the past tense in this sentence, and once I thought of something else, I couldn't come up with the next word.
I wondered if there was any way to improve my English quickly ?
I thought TOEIC could be used to measure my progress ?
That's how I started my relationship with TOEIC.
I am a three-day monk I can't keep doing the same thing for three days, but I have been attending English conversation classes for more than 10 years because
English is necessary for my work.
As a result, many of the lessons are related to my work.
My instructor, Jennifer, is a great teacher who meets 100% of my needs. She answers my questions on any topic, such as correcting documents, reading materials, newspapers, Netflix, etc., which are necessary for my work. And if I ask her for her opinion, she will give me her own, and her opinion is very fresh and enjoyable.
I was able to get my TOEIC score over 900 by starting with topics I was interested in and looking at the newspaper, the radio on my morning commute, TV, and finding ways to get away from my desk.
I am grateful to Yuko for listening to me complain about my work and giving me sometimes heartbreaking advice.
I mentioned earlier how great Jennifer is, but all of the teachers I have met have been Professional, and I think Yuko has done a very good job of vetting her teachers.
I will keep coming back until I can understand what Tucker Carlson from FOX TV is saying
Thank you for your continued support !
-Mrs. Aki-
"You are doing a great job !"
I remember the first time I visited ESL, I felt a "huff" of relief when Yuko-san said this to me.
For about 3 years since then, ESL has been an indispensable part of our family's life in America.
We immediately signed up for trial lessons, and my daughters and I each started taking private lessons with different American teachers.
My daughters and I each started private lessons with different American teachers, mainly for daily conversation, supplementary English classes at the Japanese school, and Eiken preparation classes.
The lessons were flexible and could be changed according to the students' needs and abilities, so we could consult with Yuko immediately if we had any problems and she would work with us to find the best lessons for us.

We also took a grammar class in Japanese taught by Yuko. Those lessons are now my daughters' basic English skills. My oldest daughter, who started attending a local high school during her stay in the U.S., also asked for lessons for her school homework. She was able to rely on Ms. Jennifer for ( English, math, history, biology ・ ・ ・ ! ) and above all, she enjoyed the twice-weekly classes.

As a housewife, I attended daily conversation lessons using a textbook 2 ~ 3 days a week.
I was a bit nervous at first because of the change of teachers, but each teacher I met was very reliable and nice, and as a result, I had a great time talking with many different teachers.
It was not just a "teacher and student" relationship, but a "person to person" relationship.
I also loved the one hour free talk lesson without using the textbook.
I think that Yuko recommended me a teacher from among the ESL teachers who suited my personality.

I also had a lot of fun sharing my problems and worries with her and the other students between classes.
We are now living in Germany after 3 years in the U.S. Our daughters are attending an international school. My eldest daughter went to high school in the U.S., and thanks to the basic ESL training she received, she has no trouble with English.
On the other hand, my second daughter, who spent three years in a Japanese school, was at first confused by all the English lessons and homework.
At that time, I remembered Jennifer, the teacher who helped my oldest daughter, and on the spur of the moment, I asked her if she would be interested in taking an ESL Skype lesson.
I was worried about the time difference and internet access, but she agreed and we are now taking Skype lessons twice a week. Thanks to his efforts, I am now able to ( understand the lessons and homework ) without any problems, and the results are reflected in my grades.

I am so happy that ESL is still taking care of us in Germany, so far away from home ! My husband and I are talking about how happy we are to have ESL as our teacher !.
ESL is still an indispensable part of our family's expat life.
-Mrs. Akiko-
Immediately after arriving in the U.S., I started ESL lessons with my oldest son.

He entered a local school with little understanding of English, but seeing him struggling day by day made me want to challenge myself
with a goal, so I started studying for the TOEIC.
I started taking private lessons with Mr. Edgar once a week, and one month later, I took my first TOEIC test after coming here. My score was 640.
ESL: Yuko raised my target score even higher ( lol ) and I set my goal to get a score of 700 Get!
I quickly decided to take the exam a second time three months later, because if I was lazy, I would lose the motivation that had just occurred.
In addition to ESL, I also devised independent study. At home, I focused on Part 5 grammar, which I was particularly weak in. When I was tired of sitting at my desk, I took a book called "Grammar Express," a one-page, one-answer book, in one hand, and
consciously created gaps in time, such as while walking at the gym, drinking coffee at a cafe, or waiting for my child to be picked up, and repeated the same book over and over again.

In ESL, I continued to take classes with Mr. Edgar at the same pace, and I could feel my understanding deepening with his detailed instruction, which was very helpful in maintaining my motivation.
Thank you, Edgar!
One month before the exam, I focused on the past exam questions with the advice of ESL: Yuko.
I was told that it is important to time your work properly, so I made time for it and worked on it several times a week, with the real exam in mind.
As a result, I was able to get a score of 745. !

Even a housewife like me, who is not very good at English, was able to improve my score so much in a short time because I received a lot of advice at ESL and I could keep myself motivated.
ESL: When Ms. Yuko said to me, "There is room for growth in areas you are weak in," it was an eye-opener for me.
Thanks to your warm encouragement, I think I was able to give my best.
By the time I return to Japan, I will continue to work hard with a goal of 800+ !
-Mrs. Yuko-
"Once in a lifetime"
We are looking forward to meeting you all.
See you soon!
