こんにちは!I’m Junko(じゅんこ), your guide to *natural, everyday Japanese*. Born and raised in rural Japan. I now share my language and culture in the US—with years of living abroad enriching my lessons.
What do you like about Japan ? I love Japanese dramas and food. Let’s chat about them *in Japanese*! I specialize in helping beginners and casual learners speak confidently, using real-life topics.
Whether you’re preparing for travel or just love Japan, I’ll make learning feel like a cozy café talk. 一緒に楽しく勉強しましょう!☺
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese for about 3 years to all ages from toddlers to adults.
It is my passion to teach Japanese and it is my joy to see my students improve their skills.
As a tutor, I value creating lessons that are customized to each student’s level, goals, and interests. My goal is to help you use Japanese with confidence and enjoy the learning process.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons,
🚩 Personalized instruction - Free topic conversation and/or use Genki textbooks and my original materials.
🚩 Practical Conversation Practice - I will gently correct your errors and guide you to use more natural expressions.
🚩 Relaxed and supportive atmosphere - where you can speak freely without worrying about making mistakes.
🚩Grammar and culture - Natural every day Japanese practice instead of sounding like a robot talking or in an uncommon way.

I've loved learning Japanese with Junko! I'm getting a lot of talking practice in and Junko helps a lot with breaking down new words, conjugations and sentence structures as they come up and also helping me with more natural ways of saying things. It's been really helpful doing a little everyday with her!

Lessons with Ms Junko are incrediply cordial and enjoyable. I feel I can freely try to speak freely, and even though I make a lot of mistakes, ms Junko cheers me on and gives me immediate feedback.

Junko Sensai is kind and patient. I never feel rushed or pressured.
She has a thorough knowledge of the grammar and gives clear explanations and examples when I ask for them.
