Hi everyone! I’m Yuka, born and raised in Japan and now living in the United States. People often describe me as patient and cheerful, qualities I cherish in my teaching. I’ve practiced Kendo (Japanese martial arts) for 15 years, starting when I was just 3 years old, and that experience has really shaped my personality and approach to teaching. In my free time, I also love cooking and often try new cuisines. Living in the U.S. encourages me to experiment with new recipes, which is so much fun and helps me get to know different cultures through cooking. I’m excited to share my culture and language with you all!
Ik als leerkracht
Since 2019, I’ve been teaching Japanese both online and in-person, covering everything from everyday conversations to business discussions. My background in HR also allows me to help with formal business communication. I understand how challenging it can be to learn a new language—I’ve experienced it myself with English. That’s why I’m dedicated to supporting and motivating you every step of the way.
My students often tell me they enjoy my classes because I’m patient and make learning fun. I focus on active participation and our progress together. Let’s make your Japanese learning journey an enjoyable one!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
In my lessons, we mainly use the grammar patterns from "Minna no Nihongo" and focus on lots of conversation practice. With the help of original supplementary materials, you will see your conversational skills improve rapidly. I also offer lessons tailored to your goals, whether it's improving conversational skills, learning business Japanese, or preparing for interviews. Let's grow together and move towards becoming the person you want to be! I’m genuinely looking forward to talking with you in class!

Yuka is a great teacher. Her lessons are well structured and she is very patient and easy to understand in both English and Japanese. She can quickly adapt a lesson if I already learned some of it before hand, and does a good job reviewing previous lessons and tying them into the next.

I always enjoy my lessons with Yuka-sensei! She gives lots of encouragement and opportunities to practice speaking the material covered. Whenever I do make a mistakes she encourages me to try again. She is very supportive and I can't wait to continue learning with her. Thank you!
