Hello! I'm Yuko! I started teaching on italki in 2018, and I’ve given over 2,000 lessons since then. My lessons are online, but many students reach out to me when they visit Japan—and I’ve had the chance to meet quite a few of them in person. I’ve seen students pass exams, move to Japan, and take exciting new steps in their lives. Being a part of those moments is truly one of the most rewarding parts of my job.
