Ex-Editor and Marketing Professional. Proud to see my students grow each lesson. Hi, I'm Yukari — a qualified Japanese teacher who grew up in Tokyo and Yokohama, now based in Paris. Before teaching, I worked as an editor and marketing professional — a career spent on the creative side of language and communication. That, combined with a genuine curiosity about people and the world, brought me to teaching. My interests span science, art, architecture, music, and the outdoors. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me at the gym, in the pool, at a concert, or on holiday, hiking, sea swimming, or skiing. I teach learners aged 16 and up. Lessons are tailored to your goals and interests — though please note I don't cover travel Japanese.

Osaka-BOY, travel-loving tutor|Learn natural Japanese through relaxed conversation こんにちは、Keiです。 教科書で学んだ日本語を「実際の会話で使える日本語」へつなげる、自然な会話中心のレッスンをしています。 私はスカイダイビングのインストラクターとゲストハウスのホストとして、さまざまな国の方と接してきました。その経験を生かし、一人ひとりのレベルや目的に合わせて、落ち着いて分かりやすく進めます。必要なときは、英語やホワイトボードも使います。 レッスン中は、間違いを気にしすぎず、できるだけたくさん日本語を話してください。会話の流れを止めすぎないように、役立つ表現や発音のポイントはこちらで記録します。 対象となるレッスンでは、事前に同意をいただいた場合に限り、録音と文字起こしを復習に活用できます。このオプションを利用した場合は、レッスン後に、改善点、自然な表現、発音を確認できる分・秒付きの短いメッセージをお送りします。 つまり、レッスン中は会話に集中し、終了後に大切なポイントを具体的に振り返る流れです。 日本語をもっと自然に話したい方、勉強した表現を実際に使いたい方、発音やイントネーションを改善したい方におすすめです。 間違いは失敗ではなく、次に進むための通過点です。日本語で話すことを楽しみながら、一歩ずつ上達していきましょう!
