About Me
From the age of 19, I spent four years in Tokyo studying acting. During that time, I also began posting on TikTok and received support from people around the world, which eventually inspired me to become a Japanese tutor. Since beginning this work in early 2025, I have had the pleasure of teaching students from many different parts of the world.

Junichiro's lessons are incredible to put it simply. The lessons are well guided, well structured and entertaining! Junichiro himself is passionate about teaching and offers the upmost support for his students. I have felt respected and encouraged in my language learning journey and even when I have made mistakes I am still shown patience and kindness. I cannot recommend him or his lessons enough, and no words are able to fully express my gratitude towards him. I fully recommend his lessons, you are certain to learn a lot!

I have been taking lessons with Junichiro for about a year, and I have found his teaching style very helpful. He is attentive to students' needs and is willing to answer questions, providing clear explanations when something is difficult to understand. He also creates a comfortable learning environment. Compared to last year, I feel that my Japanese has improved a lot, and I have found that taking lessons has been intermittent but effective for me than self-studying alone.

I have been taking private Japanese lessons with Junichiro for almost three months now, and my motivation is still as strong as day one. His lessons are genuinely enjoyable and always fly by far too quickly. He is extremely professional, well-prepared, and has excellent teaching materials, but what I appreciate most is that he does not follow a rigid, overly academic approach. Junichiro adapts his lessons to my needs, my goals, and even my personal interests, including anime references, which makes learning both engaging and meaningful. More importantly, he helps me understand real, spoken Japanese, not just the textbook version. Through his teaching, I am also learning a great deal about Japanese culture, traditions, and ways of thinking, which makes the experience even more fascinating. I highly recommend Junichiro. He is a serious, dedicated, and professional teacher, while also being friendly, fun, and a pleasure to learn with!

See your local time alongside Japan time at a glance, then check whether your preferred slot fits the regular lesson hours below.
Both standard time and DST are taken into account, since the offset shifts seasonally.
Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific each differ — please confirm your local time.
Countries observing DST may see lesson times shift around the seasonal switch.
Mostly stable year-round; Australia and New Zealand may need DST confirmation.
For students in countries that observe daylight saving time, lesson schedules may need to be adjusted around the switching periods (typically March and November). Any change is discussed with each student individually — this only refers to the seasonal switch, not weekly time changes.
