Junko

I am a Japanese national and an award-winning language specialist. I have taught Japanese at a prestigious grammar school in the UK and worked as a qualified teacher for many years in Japan. My husband is English, and I have lived in the UK for over 15 years.

I completed a PhD in Education at Tamagawa University in Tokyo and have spent some time at the University of York in the UK, where I graduated with an MA in Education. I travel back to Japan every year to visit my family and friends. My hobbies are swimming, music, watching football and cooking. I enjoy teaching and creating fun lessons as well as teaching materials.

My lessons are bespoke so that you will be able to learn Japanese quickly and easily!
