I love beaches, paddle boarding, hiking and anything I can enjoy outdoors.I also love to travel. I’ve been to many countries and I’m passionate about learning new cultures and languages.

Today was our last lesson of the year. Its been a pleasure working with Yuka sensei for over 80+ sessions. She has literally improved my speaking and lesson skills 10-fold. When I have any question, I know Yuka sensei will take the time to explain it in the easiest sense. I am excited for the next year working with Yuka!

I have been studying Japanese for 15 years and lived in Japan for about 4 and I can easily say that Yuka is the best Japnese teacher I've ever had. It can be really hard to find somebody who can teach beyond the intermediate level and it really stalled my learning for a long time. Yuka has a nack for really being able to zero in on your needs and build the lesson to custom fit you. I think this is especially important for the advanced level since you need to learn vocabulary, kanji, etc less and have to focus more on polishing your skills to really sound native and fluent. Yuka has improved my Japanese significanly in this way. Teachers who can teach at this level are extremely rare and I would encourage anybody at any level to learn with Yuka. She pushes you in motivating ways that really get great results.

Yuka-san is by far the best Japanese teacher. I have also had well over 4000 lessons in various languages on iTalki, and I can tell you that Yuka-san stands out among the 100+ teachers I have experienced as a knowledgeable, committed, conversationally adept, and humorous instructor. Thanks so much, Yuka-san!
