I've been taking regular lessons with Juri for the last 5-6 months now and am very happy with my choice of teacher. I started with zero knowledge of the Japanese language, but felt I had good guidance to now being able to speak (a little bit), read and write hiragana and katakana, and some kanji. Juri expects that I take my studies seriously, but I never feel pressured if I can’t finish something or forget some words here and there, which helps me feel comfortable with the learning process and lets me enjoy learning without worrying too much about mistakes or pronunciation holding me back. Now that I understand the basics, she focuses more on conversation at the beginning of each lesson and notes down any vocabulary I don’t know so I can study it afterward. This has been incredibly helpful, as speaking a new language has always been a hurdle for me, but I feel comfortable and at ease during our lessons. I can’t wait to speak Japanese fluently one day! ありがとうございました、先生！

I've been incredibly impressed with Juri's teaching skills and her dedication to my progress. She possesses a rare combination of patience and a deep understanding of how to effectively teach Japanese. Juri breaks down complex concepts into manageable steps and provides clear explanations that resonate with me. She also has a talent for creating a comfortable learning environment where I feel encouraged to ask questions. Thanks to Juri's personalized guidance and support, I've gained a solid foundation in Japanese and a strong sense of confidence in my ability to continue learning.

レッスンお疲れ様でした。 3週間ぶりに日本語で話せて、すごく楽しかったです！宿題のトピックもとても興味深かったです。 また来週！

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。たくさん話しました。

Great start to learning Japanese! I self-studied a bit of Hiragana and Katakana coming in, which helps, but working with a tutor definitely makes a lot of difference. I am liking the teaching style and looking forward to the next lessons!
