Juri

Juri-sensei is an amazing teacher. I always learn so much in my lessons with her. I really appreciate that the lessons have structure but also room for questions and real time examples in addition to review of things we've already gone over so it sticks. I like that Juri-sensei gives corrections and gets you to figure out why so you can speak better and apply that knowledge to the future. She is also good at identifying weaker areas and gives homework accordingly so you're not going over things you already know and best using your time together. Juri-sensei clarifies things really well and explains things I don't understand or wouldn't think of as English speaker. I'm always learning new words and getting more context about how to put sentences together. I really enjoy lessons with Juri-sensei and feel like I make lots of progress.

Juri is the best Japanese teacher on italki. She is patient during conversations, uses real life examples and materials and is open to studying/explaining anything the student wants. Her fluent English and understanding of western culture enable her to explain grammar and concepts in an easy to understand way.

レッスンはお疲れ様でした！ 今日のクリスマスマーケットの話の後は、美味しいものを食べたいんです。一緒に宿題を読んでくれてありがとうございます！ また次回！

I highly recommend my Japanese teacher, Juri! A few months ago, I decided to follow my dream and start learning Japanese. I’d always loved hearing it in shows and music, but learning on my own never worked. After finding Juri online and reading the great reviews, I gave it a shot—and I’m so glad I did. From the first lesson, I could introduce myself and understand basic tenses. Every class is fun and engaging! Juri is so dedicated, both during and after lessons. She’s kind, generous, and makes you feel like you’re learning with a good friend. Her teaching is professional yet enjoyable, and even with my full-time job, I’ve made amazing progress. I can now watch Japanese shows and understand them quite well! Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, if you want a teacher who truly cares and makes learning enjoyable and effective—go with Juri!

このクラスは楽しかったです。

My teacher is great at providing structure for my lessons, reviews homework with me to help me understand mistakes, and helps me feel comfortable when learning a new language.
