About Me
italki teacher since Apr 28, 2021
Interest topicTravelAnimation & ComicsArtWriting
Hello, I’m Yuki!
I was born and raised in Osaka. I speak both standard Japanese and Kansai dialect.
I used to work in sales for IT company and I did a bit of web content writing about travel (domestic and overseas).
I’m a easy-going and open-minded person.
I love getting to know people from different countries and exchange culture, language or ideas.
I love watching musicals, reading manga, painting(especially watercolor and grass painting), travelling, and playing the drums, piano and ukulele :)!
Me as a Teacher
I’m a qualified and native Japanese teacher.
I teach Japanese on several platforms and have students of various levels. I teach them in different ways depending on their needs and levels.
Teaching Japanese language and culture is my passion and I would be happy to help you in every aspect of your learning :)
I try to make lessons fun and worth learning so that you can enjoy studying Japanese.
I will help you if you make mistakes, cannot find any appropriate words and expressions.
My lessons & teaching style
I'm not really the type that use textbooks (sometimes textbook is the best material for some situations and I'm happy to use it in this situation of course).
I like using real materials such as news or magazines, or topics you are interested in to learn words, grammar, expressions or cultures.
You want to learn Japanese or improve your Japanese but don’t know what to do? Don’t worry, I am here to support you. I will ask you your goals, levels or interests and we can design our lessons together!
**Cancellation policy**
As per italki cancellation policy (and also to be fair to my all students) I cannot refund or reschedule the lesson for any reason if the starting time is within 24 hours.

Teacher’s pick
I have taken 80+ lessons with Yuki sensei since last year and was able to improve my Japanese level significantly. She is very professional and informative when I have language related questions (grammar, vocab etc.) At the same time, she is also extremely helpful when it comes to culture related questions. Through our journal exchanges I got to understand many cultural aspects that I was not aware of before, even though I have been living in Japan for quite some time. It is truly a pleasure to have her as my teacher and I would recommend her for anyone who is serious about learning Japanese.
先生のお陰様で、日本語で文章を書くことに自信を持つようになりました。交換日記により、様々なトピックについて討論できますので、会話の能力もより一層流暢になった気がします。今までアートや教育や日本の文化など幅広い分野での話ができて、いろいろな知識を身につけた上に、一緒に過ごした時間も本当に楽しかったです。沢山教えて頂き、誠にありがとうございました。

Very happy with my lessons with Yuki 先生。
Each lessons are well prepared in advance with various materials that are personalized.
Best of all, Yuki先生 encourages me to learn more on my language study beyond my lesson.
Highly recommend for any Japanese language learners.
Thank you so much!

Yuki is such a great teacher. I feel the journal writing classes I am taking are really helping all areas of my Japanese plus they lead to various discussions which are always fun and interesting. Yuki has a wonderful personality and is very patient when I am trying to speak or think of the words. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

ゆき先生は親切な人だしいい先生です。ゆき先生の英語がすごいだので、説明しての時は簡単です。今までにゆき先生のクラスは30回ぐらいに行ったから、続けてつもりです。ありがとう。ジョン、(オーストラリア人です)。Yuki-sensei is really patient and a great teacher. Yuki-sensei's English is amazing, so it's easy for her to explain things in detail. I've been to Yuki-sensei's class about 30 times so far, so I plan on continuing my studies with her. Thank you.

I have had 17 one hour lessons in Yuki's Journal Exchange program and would highly recommend this program to anyone who is serious about studying Japanese with the goal of increasing their conversational ability. Yuki offers this excellent journal program (as well as others), provides guidance and direction according to her student's language level and learning preferences, and is technically competent to facilitate home learning. Personally I have found her to be a friendly, engaging teacher showing genuine interest in my journal topics. I would highly recommend Yuki.

Yuki is a skilled tutor who explains grammar points, new vocabulary, and cultural references clearly and with examples. I have had about 10 lessons with her so far and I look forward to each one. I was looking for help with my weak speaking skills (I'm at about N3 level), and in just a few lessons I was speaking better than I ever had before because of how patient she is when I need to stop & think. We alternate between "Exchange Journals" and "Japanese for all levels (with materials)" reading the manga Skip & Loafer/スキップとローファー. I would highly recommend taking either of these lessons as they developed my speaking & writing skills much faster than self-study.
