Hello, I’m Yuka! I was born in Osaka, have lived in many places across Japan, and now live in Nagano.
With 6 years as a writer and 10 years as a Pilates trainer, I create a comfortable space where you can learn natural Japanese at your own pace.
I’m passionate about languages and have lived in the U.S. I’m currently studying German to communicate with my partner’s family, so I understand the challenges of learning as an adult. I believe it can expand your world, and I’m here to support you.
I like:
・Hiking & Travel: I’ve hiked across Japan and traveled to Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, the USA, Canada, Australia, Korea, Taiwan, and more.
・Reading, writing essays
Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm not just a teacher, I'm also a fellow learner who shares knowledge and experiences with you. As a writer, I understand the deep differences between English/German and Japanese. I can help you find the most natural expressions that textbooks don't teach.
I've also taught Pilates to many international clients in Tokyo, so I can support you in English as well.
My goal is to create a safe space where you can speak at ease. My students say I'm patient and kind. And I always give positive feedback, so don't be afraid of making mistakes!
🇩🇪Ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch (Niveau A2). Wenn du Anfänger in Japanisch bist, unterstütze ich dich gerne!

Had another great lesson with Yuka-san. ✨ She guided our convo and was very helpful by teaching me new words. Her lessons are very relaxed so I can make mistakes without feeling pressure.

Yuka is a very patient and organised teacher. She is easy to communicate with and is attentive throughout the lesson. I appreciate that she listens and is able to adapt to my needs/requests, while being structured enough to lead lessons without being prompted.

After many lessons together, Yuka Sensei has helped me gain confidence for my upcoming trip to japan. Reviewing Genki vocabulary, grammar and doing role play. It has been a great pleasure learning with her.

Another great lesson with Yuka. I feel that I will really be able to grasp the language more as we continue on practicing together and she is very flexible in working with your personal learning style

Today I didn’t feel very prepared for class but Yuka-san guided me, which made the lesson go smoothly. ほんとにありがとう ( ◠‿◠ )
