Junko

I have been studying Japanese for years, both in and outside of traditional classrooms. In that time, I have never had a teacher give me as much personalized focus as Junko-sensei. My goal is to advance my vocabulary and grammar usage beyond the simple ones that I’ve come to rely on, and Junko-sensei pushes me to do that. She guides me through challenges and helps me improve with unlimited patience and encouragement. Junko-sensei is the type to adjust to your level, so there’s never any pressure, even if the topic is difficult! Today we talked about AI, specifically about the positives and negatives of the system and its real-world applications. This topic has a lot of technical language that I didn’t know, but Junko-sensei listened carefully and helped me through rephrasing my answers. I feel more confident about Japanese than I have in years. If you want to level up your Japanese or even if you're just beginning, I highly recommend taking a class with her!

I have been working with Junko san for over half a year already and I can clearly see the progress. When we started I could barely read hiragana and could only say my name, now I can make proper sentences and tell about my day and plans I have, do the test questions etc. I think I chose the best teacher on iTalki since I am still very motivated to learn and improve. Not to mention Junko san has a great personality. Highly recommend

日本で就活をしている外国人です。 Junko先生のおかげで、1社の内定を取りました！ 先生から書類チェックや質問対策や振る舞いなどについて、貴重なアドバイスをいただきました。時々私は自信がなかった時にも優しく励ましていただきました。 いつも丁寧なご指導いただき、ありがとうございます。

Junko was able to answer many of my questions regarding ways of speaking using keigo. The lesson felt very natural and I learned many new phrases. She was also very reassuring about my Japanese level and gave me the confidence to continue my studies.

ありがとうございました、面接頑張ります

Great first session- we discussed what my goals are and I was asked lots of questions. I tried my best to challenge my vocabulary and choose harder words. Obviously it means I made a lot of mistakes but sensei was super patient and let me try to explain the words or meaning before helping me. She also provided lots of notes. I will take another lesson with her. Thanks so much :)
