Hello! I'm Yuka, a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo with over 20 years of experience in global industries, including international banking. I’ve had the opportunity to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and truly enjoy learning about their cultures and perspectives. I specialize in helping learners improve their conversational skills and build confidence in speaking. My lessons focus on fluency in everyday conversations and discussions on topics like your interests, culture, travel, current events, or business. Whether you want to practice casual conversation or engage in professional discussions, I’m here to support your journey.

Me as a Teacher

While grammatical accuracy is important, I believe that connecting with and understanding others is key to meaningful conversations. My goal is to guide you in using Japanese as a tool for genuine connection, beyond just language structure. With my extensive background in business, I offer valuable insights into both professional and casual Japanese. I aim to help you build fluency and confidence, whether for work or daily interactions. True mastery comes from real-world practice and meaningful conversations. My teaching philosophy goes beyond words and grammar. While important, I prioritize connecting with people, understanding diverse perspectives, and communicating effectively.

My lessons & teaching style

I tailor my lessons to suit your individual needs, focusing on your goals and interests. In our lesson together, we will focus on speaking Japanese as much as possible through the conversations. My teaching style is interactive and practical, emphasizing "real-life" conversations and cultural nuances. I strive to create a comfortable and engaging environment where you can freely express yourself and learn at your own pace. I'll provide corrections on grammar and pronunciation as needed so that you can acquire native expression.

I had a fun first lesson with Yukaさん. She's very insightful and quickly matched her speaking level with my ability. Additionally, we talked about a variety of very interesting topics that I didn't realize I had the vocabulary or grammar to speak about. It was very encouraging. All the while, she was able to pepper in new and very practical vocabulary for future use.
