Hello! I'm Yuka, a native Japanese speaker with over 20 years of experience in global corporate environments, primarily in international banking, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with diverse people and truly enjoy learning about their cultures and perspectives.
I specialize in helping advanced learners and professionals who have a good command of Japanese basics and want to refine conversational skills. My lessons focus on meaningful, in-depth discussions where we explore personal experiences, cultural topics, and current events, aiming to share perspectives in an authentic way. I’m passionate about creating a supportive space for open-minded individuals who are eager to grow.Me as a Teacher
Born and raised in Japan, I’ve spent over 20 years thriving in global corporate environments, which has allowed me to embrace a broad, open-minded perspective. While I understand and appreciate Japan’s unique culture, I value a multifaceted approach that goes beyond traditional boundaries. This mindset has shaped the way I communicate, blending flexibility with cultural understanding.
As a language tutor, I prioritize communication over perfection, focusing on real-world practice and meaningful conversations. I help you use Japanese for genuine interaction, building fluency and confidence through practical use.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are designed to go beyond textbook learning, focusing on engaging conversations that inspire new ideas and growth. Rather than memorization, I prioritize natural, meaningful discussions where we shape the lesson together, creating an immersive learning experience.
Whether you prefer spontaneous chats or structured topics, my lessons are flexible and evolve based on your interests. The goal is to make you feel confident and comfortable expressing yourself freely.
As your tutor, I’ll introduce vocabulary, refine grammar, and help with pronunciation—but these are tools. The key is exploring ideas together, ensuring you communicate authentically and confidently.My teaching material

I have been learning Japanese with Yuka-san for quite some time now, and every lesson is an absolute pleasure. Her teaching style is engaging, dynamic, and always tailored to my interests and learning needs.
What makes her lessons stand out is not just the language instruction, but the depth of cultural, historical, and business insights she shares. I always come away having learned something new, whether it’s about current trends in Japan, historical events, or unique aspects of Japanese business culture.
Yuka-san creates a comfortable and motivating learning environment, making even complex topics feel approachable. I can only highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Japanese in a meaningful and enjoyable way!

My lesson with Yuka-sensei was my first on italki, and it was a great decision. I've already got many years of experience with Japanese, but was looking for someone I could speak with to improve my overall confidence when speaking and dig further into business-related/polite Japanese. Though this was just an introduction, she made me feel so confident about my current level of Japanese and my ability to progress. I will definitely be coming back to her for future lessons.
