Junko Tutor Profile

Hi everyone! I'm Junko.

I've been teaching English on Cafetalk since 2011. I started teaching Japanese in 2023. I don't have any certificates to teach Japanese, but I'm working on it. I'm planning to take the exam next year (in 2024).

I'm currently teaching only to beginners because the materials are not ready for intermediate or advanced. I use the indirect method to teach Japanese, which means I use English to teach Japanese, so you need to understand English if you take my lessons.

My course is NOT "tailor-made" for you. Instead, it is well-strudtured and well-organised. You can learn all the four skills step by step, such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking as well as vocabulary, grammar, idioms, and expressions. I'll give you homework, quizes, and exams so that you can improve your Japanese quickly.

I have a lot of experiences teaching English to Japanese people. Many of my students are successful learning English. I'm trying to apply the methods to teaching Japanese. For example, Ondoku (oral practice) and Shunkan-sakubun (quick translating) are the good methods to learn a language.
You can learn Japanese like the way Japanese people learn English. If you ever wonder why Japanese people can learn English so quickly, please try my lessons.

To master a language, it's important to have a good balance between accuracy and fluency. I'll try to have a good balance in the lesson, which sometimes takes a lot of practice especially when you want to improve your fluency. Please have patience and bear with me. :)

To get started, please take Introduction to Learning Japanese lesson. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Featured Interview

Q. 社会人になられてから英語習得に取り組まれたきっかけは、どんな事だったのですか? A. きっかけは、アメリカ人男性と結婚した友人の、ハワイでの結婚式にブライズメイドとして参加したことでした。それまでの私は英語は大の苦手で、英語恐怖症といっても過言ではないくらいでした。しかしその結婚式は基本的に身内だけの小さな式だったため、友人代表は私しかいなく、一人でカウアイ島までたどりつきホテルに泊まりレンタカーを借りて式場まで行く必要があり、しかも日本語のほとんど通じないカウアイ島で行われたので、これは英語なしでは生き残れない!と思い、英会話学校に通い始めました。 結婚式は湖のほとりにある胡蝶蘭に囲まれた別荘でのガーデンウェディングで、それはそれはとても素敵で、まるで自分がハリウッド映画の中にいるかのようでした。さらにしどろもどろとは言え、英語で新郎側のご家族や友人たちとコミュニケーションがとれ...
