唯花　(ゆいか　Yuika)

Yuika is a great teacher and I have enjoyed studying with her immensely. She really takes the time to do more than just teach you the lesson content and has helped me with other requests I have in Japanese. She was happy to check writing I was doing for events in my personal life and even took a lot of time to make suggestions on how to make it sound more natural and improve it. When doing examples in class too, she will often try and tailor it to things she knows are relevant to my real life, making it easier for me to remember it.

I have been studying with Yuika Sensei for over 100 lessons and it has been such a pleasant experience. Out of habit I barely leave comments on the Internet, but today, likely my last day on iTalki Japanese, I would really like to express my gratitude towards Yuika Sensei for her company in my Japanese learning journey. The first lesson was unforgettable. I was extremely nervous and hesitant and sweated a lot, but Yuika Sensei was very patient and thoughtful and encouraged me a lot. During the past year, together we read Manga, discussed news, had casual daily talks, and left a lot of good memories… Yuika Sensei explained jokes and dialects in Manga that I could never get without help, and answered countless questions that I came across in books or in many times just raised on a whim. If you are looking for someone kind, skilled, and perfect for both casual talks as a friend and professional lessons as a teacher, do not hesitate and BOOK NOW! Yuika Sensei, thank you!

First lesson with Yuika was amazing! We spoke about my goals and got started with grammar right away. She is very encouraging and easy to talk to.

I had a great lesson today with Yuika Sensei. She did a great job explaining new words to me and we had a fun conversation. Thank you so much for the lesson. 本当にありがとうございました！

i’ve been having lessons with ゆいか先生 for a while now. her lessons are always very well prepared, structured and easy to follow. she’s super conscientious and goes the extra mile to take notes of the topics you’re interested in to make lessons more relatable and enjoyable! she’s always super patient when asked questions and explains clearly with relevant examples. overall, her classes are great and i would definitely recommend her to everyone regardless of what level you’re at!

This was my second class. My overall goal with the lessons is to practice speaking as I also take classes for the more vocab and grammar focused stuff. The lessons are very well laid out. We pick a topic and focus the lessons on words and conversation within that topic. Yuika is a fantastic teacher and always explains well when I do not understand something. So far these have been a great help and I look forward to more!
