Hello! I'm Yuka, a native Japanese speaker with over 20 years of experience in global corporate environments, including international banking. Through working with people from diverse backgrounds, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for cultural nuance and thoughtful communication.
I truly enjoy meaningful conversations that lead to insight and growth. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can build confidence, speak Japanese naturally, and express yourself with clarity and ease. Whether you’re interested in everyday topics, cultural nuances, or deeper reflections, I’m here to support your steady progress.Me as a Teacher
Born and raised in Japan, I have gathered diverse experiences in international settings that have shaped my open-minded and flexible approach to communication. This background allows me to appreciate both the uniqueness of Japanese culture and the richness found beyond traditional boundaries.
As a tutor, I focus on meaningful communication rather than perfection. I aim to help you use Japanese in real-life situations, encouraging natural expression and confidence through genuine conversations. My lessons are designed for learners who want to deepen their connection with the language and explore ideas in a relaxed and supportive environment. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons go beyond textbook learning, focusing on conversations that inspire personal growth. Rather than memorization, I prioritize natural, meaningful discussions for an immersive experience. Whether spontaneous chats or structured topics, lessons are flexible and based on your interests. The goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable expressing yourself.
While grammar is not the main focus, I'm happy to support you with explanations whenever needed. These lessons are ideal for learners who already have a foundation and wish to grow through natural conversation.My teaching material

Yuka is an amazing teacher! She's such an easy person to talk to, and she has great insights about the culture and the nuances of the Japanese language. Every class I learn something new, and I always look forward to the next one!

Yuka-san was a great listener who gathered information about my situation and was able to adjust to my needs. She also came up with a learning plan that suits my needs. Additionally, she provided me with important context in terms of my family and I transitioning as foreigners into Japanese culture. She was pleasant, funny, and down-to-earth, while being a straightforward teacher at the same time.
