FUSAKO KOIZUMI

I highly recommend Koizumi-sensei for learning Japanese. I have taken lessons to prepare for JLPT N1 less than 2 months before the exam, but despite this short time, Koizumi-sensei helped me to improve my knowledge of N1 vocabulary and reading text. She always has a lot of materials for JLPT tests and she does a review of the previous lesson so you can repeat and remember well all new words. Lessons with Koizumi-sensei helped me so much that I could successfully pass JLPT N1! Sensei is always encouraging and patient, positive and enthusiastic. Her lessons are always well-organized, engaging, and tailored to my learning needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese in effective and positive way. 先生、とてもお世話になりました。先生のおかげで日本語能力試験のN1レベルに合格しました。どうもありがとうございました！今は就職面接の準備が必要なので、レッスンを続けています。会話の練習がとても役に立っています。皆さん、どうぞ小泉先生の授業を疑いなく取ってください！

Koizumi sensei is truly a exceptional japanese teacher. I have been working with her for about two years and I just successfully passed the JLPT N2 exam (I passed the N3 exam with her help prior to that) in December. I passed both exams on my first try. If you are looking for a tutor to help pass the JLPT exams I would wholeheartedly recommend Koizumi sensei. I am glad that I did.

After a year of working with Mrs. Koizumi, I went from below N5 to successfully passing the N3 test level. She is a kind and understanding teacher, and she is always on time. Her corrections help you understand how to sound more natural, and she will answer any questions you have to help you understand. I cannot recommend her enough and greatly appreciate her help in getting me to this level. I am sure you will be pleased if you work with her or continue to work with her.

Thank you for another great lesson! I enjoy having the opportunity to practice speaking. It encourages me to step out of my comfort zone and try to apply what I know and also practice. I will study more for next lesson. Thank you :)

We took time today to continue reviewing the reading material and answering the prompt questions. It felt great being able to also have conversations with the teacher in between the lesson to also exercise my conversational and speaking skills. Since I live in Texas, it's hard to find time to practice speaking Japanese, so the more time i get to practice and talk, the better. Since this class is for JLPT prep, we get plenty of opportunity to practice and understand how the test works and how its trying to test my Japanese. Sensei also provides me with tips on how to take the test and how to approach the questions during the test. I look forward to the next lesson, and if possible more homework and more materials to use to practice for the JLPT and study and continue learning.

Fusako-san is a very patient teacher (maybe I am too slow of a student) who tries her best to keep the lessons at my level. I'm happy.
