Junichi's Japanese Lesson

I was born and raised in Japan, attended Berklee College of Music, and now work as a professional musician and tutor. I’ve been teaching Japanese for 12 years and have taught over 100 students. I’ve also helped many students prepare for and pass the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). After graduating from college, I moved back to Japan for a year and a half, where I taught English to Japanese children. I also worked closely with visiting international staff as a Japanese teacher and translator. Having learned a second language myself, I understand how challenging it can be. I approach every student with patience, encouragement, and sensitivity to their individual needs. I ask my students to keep a daily journal, which becomes the focus of our class discussions. This brings reading, writing, and speaking together through topics that are personal and relevant to you. I also incorporate Japanese culture and everyday life including cuisine, music, art, etiquette, and current events to keep our lessons fun and engaging.
