Jumpei

I have taken lessons with Jumpei Sensei for over 6 months. We started with very basic grammar and used various resources to study and practice. He will select, and even create personalized homework to help improve weaknesses and introduce new Japanese grammar and vocab to make learning feel natural. Jumpei Sensei is a professional teacher, and as such is very skilled at explaining the nuances and native flow of Japanese. Every lesson he will help you practice the correct way of speaking and help you figure out how to say what you want to say in the clearest way that your level of understanding allows. I highly recommend Jumpei Sensei as someone who can help serious learners take their skill to the next level. 頑張ってください！ ありがとうございました！

I learned so much in this lesson! Jumpei identified specific phrases I often use that accidentally sound impolite, and he carefully explained the problems with each phrase and then taught me what I should say instead. I really appreciated this, and I'm so glad that Jumpei taught me these things! Jumpei is a very attentive teacher. He always notices patterns in my speech and writing, and then breaks down the problems and teaches me how to fix them. Any students who are serious about learning Japanese or improving their Japanese should take lessons with Jumpei.

Great teacher really helps and great at focusing in on what needs to be improved.

I’ve been taking lessons with Jumpei sensei for around six months now. I booked my trial lesson on a whim and didn’t really think it was something I would seriously continue with, but here we are. It’s all thanks to Jumpei. He has a real knack for knowing how much to ask for and when. Each lesson is challenging, but never more so than to make me want to keep going. Jumpei is always well-prepared, attentive and kind. He’s been irreplaceable in my Japanese-learning journey, and if you’re looking for a Japanese teacher, I can only recommend him. Thank you!

Seriously great teacher! helps me with my terrible pronunciation with patience and encouragement. Japanese is a hard language to learn but I'm glad I have Jumpei-sensei on my side!

Today's class was good, we utilized homework to practice creating sentences and reading them aloud, then used that as a segue for how to have a conversation in Japanese rather than just stringing related sentences together.
