Hello, Everybody!
I'm Yuka. I’m from Hyogo.
I used to work as a teacher at the International school in Japan. I love kids and am passionate about teaching kids. I really enjoy teaching!
I’ve been to China, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, New Zealand and Hawaii.
My favourite memory from traveling was joining the Honolulu marathon.
I am open minded and cheerful person.Me as a Teacher
After I graduated from university, I studied abroad in New Zealand for an year. While studying I also did private tutoring, teaching Japanese. Sometimes to use English to help with word association. I also worked at a Japanese language centre.
I provide easy/simple words and tasks to get you to enjoy participating in the class and created a comfortable atmosphere to encourage discussion.
So please don’t hesitate to give my lesson a try so we can enjoy some good Japanese conversation! My lessons & teaching style
-Lesson① Based on Minna no Nihongo
-Lesson② Free conversation lesson
-Lesson③ Show and tell(We each provide something for the show and tell. Anything is ok such as physical pictures, or using a slide show of things you have).
I will provide the lessons which can fit with your level and provide you with the best way to learn Japanese!
皆（みな）さんが楽（たの）しく日本語（にほんご）を学（まな）べるようなレッスンを準備（じゅんび）します。
大丈夫（だいじょうぶ）です。あなたのレベルにあわせた内容（ないよう）でレッスンをします。

Had an enjoyable first lesson with Ms. Yuka. She's easy to talk to and provided notes to help with my learning. Will definitely schedule more lessons with her soon.

She was adaptable to my needs/concerns about Japanese. In particular, regarding casual speech usage and increasing familiarity with using is naturally.

She is always congenial and provides corrections as you converse which is helpful for those looking at improving their speaking fluency.

Since this was an intro lesson, Yuka Sensei was eager to learn about me and we discussed materials, goals, and her teaching methodology. Even in 30 minutes, I felt reassured that her teaching style will help me continue improving my Japanese.
