Testimonials
Rob Jenkins, U.K.
Great lesson, excellent and patient teacher. Really enjoying learning Japanese again.
Great teacher, enjoying the lessons and feel I am making good progress.
Dairenn Lombard, USA
Highly recommended. You can try to self-study Japanese and get pretty far, but the practice really locks in once you work with her. As usual, Junko is a fair, friendly, organized teacher who will for sure, help you as long as you put in the work. I absolutely suggest her to you if you are trying to learn or improve your Nihongo!

Jeannette J., USA
I have been taking Japanese lessons with Junko-san for over two years. She is a very engaged teacher who encourages me to succeed. Along with textbook lessons, we do free-speaking in Japanese for half an hour. This is always fun and pushes me to learn beyond the textbook lessons.
Her English is very good, so she is able to explain the fine points of grammar in English when I get confused. I highly recommend her as a teacher. She brings a lot to her lessons, making learning Japanese both interesting and fun.
Jessica White, USA
Junko Matsumoto was a fantastic teacher. She was very patient with me and explained everything in detail while also keeping to our time limit. I believe what I learned from her will make a huge difference with my trip to Japan. It was definitely worth taking this class!

我跟著純子老師學習日文已經兩年了,純子老師的反應迅速,每每都能快速理解我的提問重點並詳加解說.並能依照學習進度與個人聽說讀寫之程度差異,以適當之教材施教.
印象最深刻的部份便是最初找純子老師上課時,我便告知老師我想要通過兩個月後的日本語能力測驗 N4. 老師便幫我針對性地準備了N4的教學材料,並在兩個月內一周一次的教學,讓我順利通過N4檢定.
因此,我推薦純子老師的日文教學！

I have been with Junko sensei learning Japanese for two years. Junko sensei always impresses me with her prompt response to my questions. And she always clearly elaborates on my questions and gets to the point. In addition, she thoughtfully prepares lecture materials based on my level of Japanese listening, speaking, reading, and writing to balance my Japanese level from these four dimensions.
Remember when I first came to Junko sensei for Japanese tutoring, I requested her to focus on helping me to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) level N4. Junko sensei quickly gathers key N4 related lecture materials and systematically guides me to prepare for N4 test. Within two months (1 hour lecture per week), I have passed N4.
Because of my Japanese learning experience with Junko sensei mentioned above, I highly recommend Junko sensei’s Japanese lecture.
