About Me
italki teacher since Nov 27, 2021InterestsFoodTravelMedical & Healthcare
こんにちは！I’m Yoshiko, a Japanese teacher living in Saudi Arabia and raising a bilingual son. Born and raised in Japan, I now connect Japanese and Gulf cultures in my daily life.
As a language learner myself (I’ve studied five languages!), I understand the excitement and challenges of speaking a new language.
In my lessons, we focus on real-life conversation — travel, food, cultural differences, and daily life in Saudi Arabia. I help you speak natural Japanese, not just textbook phrases.
If you already know some basic Japanese and want to speak more smoothly and confidently, my lessons are for you.
Most of my students take lessons once a week for steady improvement.Me as a Teacher
I have completed two Japanese teaching courses and have been teaching learners from many countries since 2021, both in English and Japanese.
Many of my students are long-term regular learners.
I am friendly, patient, and genuinely curious about my students’ cultures and stories. I enjoy sharing Japanese culture while learning about yours.
Before becoming a teacher, I worked in travel agencies and hotels, so we can talk about sightseeing, travel planning, and cultural experiences in Japan.
In my lessons, I don’t just correct mistakes — I help you notice them and think about more natural ways to express yourself. I provide organized notes after each lesson so you can review anytime. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are mainly conversation-based and follow my Japanese Café Talk style ☕.
We focus on real-life speaking practice while gradually building vocabulary and natural expressions.
In each lesson:
• We talk about topics that interest you
• I give clear feedback and corrections
• We review key phrases
• You receive organized Google Doc notes
I help you understand your mistakes and practice improved expressions so you can use them confidently next time.
My lessons are ideal for learners who want to improve speaking fluency in a relaxed but structured way.
I mainly focus on conversation. I do not specialize in intensive exam preparation, business Japanese, or grammar courses.My teaching material

I had another fun lesson talking about Family with Yoshiko-Sensei. As always Yoshiko-Sensei listens patiently and provides detailed and useful feedback so I can feel myself really improving after each lesson. Looking forward to the next one!

In the trial lesson, we discussed my short and long term goals in learning Japanese. I’m looking forward to starting my lessons with よしこさん.
