FUSAKO KOIZUMI

I highly recommend Koizumi-sensei for learning Japanese. I have taken lessons to prepare for JLPT N1 less than 2 months before the exam, but despite this short time, Koizumi-sensei helped me to improve my knowledge of N1 vocabulary and reading text. She always has a lot of materials for JLPT tests and she does a review of the previous lesson so you can repeat and remember well all new words. Lessons with Koizumi-sensei helped me so much that I could successfully pass JLPT N1! Sensei is always encouraging and patient, positive and enthusiastic. Her lessons are always well-organized, engaging, and tailored to my learning needs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese in effective and positive way. 先生、とてもお世話になりました。先生のおかげで日本語能力試験のN1レベルに合格しました。どうもありがとうございました！今は就職面接の準備が必要なので、レッスンを続けています。会話の練習がとても役に立っています。皆さん、どうぞ小泉先生の授業を疑いなく取ってください！

Koizumi sensei is truly a exceptional japanese teacher. I have been working with her for about two years and I just successfully passed the JLPT N2 exam (I passed the N3 exam with her help prior to that) in December. I passed both exams on my first try. If you are looking for a tutor to help pass the JLPT exams I would wholeheartedly recommend Koizumi sensei. I am glad that I did.

After a year of working with Mrs. Koizumi, I went from below N5 to successfully passing the N3 test level. She is a kind and understanding teacher, and she is always on time. Her corrections help you understand how to sound more natural, and she will answer any questions you have to help you understand. I cannot recommend her enough and greatly appreciate her help in getting me to this level. I am sure you will be pleased if you work with her or continue to work with her.

I really have fun with speaking and talking! I also love the PowerPoint slides we use for Minna no Nihongo, it’s very helpful in reviewing the grammar points and vocabulary for each chapter. Thank you again for another fun class :)

Today was another great lesson. We focused on listen comprehension today. All the questions were challenging and giving me great examples of the types of listening questions that will be on the test. What's interesting is that the materials that I use outside of class Nihongo Somatome, provides different types of listening exercises for daily life and various situations. The questions in today's class were on different formal corporate situations, research classrooms, etc. I'm glad we had the chance to practice. Sensei also gave me the chance to ask questions as I went along when there were words that I didn't know while doing the exercises. Good stuff, looking forward to the next lesson.

Thank you for another great lesson! I am learning a lot of new materials and feel like I have grammar I can express myself with. But I have a lot more to learn. See you next week :)
