Hi everyone! I'm Yurika. I'm from Nagasaki, Japan🇯🇵 I love traveling and living in other countries. I love meeting new people and getting to know different cultures. I've studied in the US when I was in my university, so I can speak in English as well. I studied American Military History in my university. Later I have worked as an international air freight forwarder for two years. I've been to USA, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, UK, Spain, Germany, Mexico etc. I'm currently learning Spanish. Let's have fun studying Japanese together! はじめまして。ゆりかです😊 海外で生活したり、いろんな国の人たちと話すのが大好きです!アメリカで交換留学をしたり、ベビーシッターをした経験もあります。そのため英語も話せます:) 大学では、アメリカの戦史について勉強しました。卒業後は、国際貿易の事務の仕事を2年間していました。一緒に楽しく日本語を勉強しましょう!

I have been taking classes with Yurika for a while now and I’ve enjoyed every single lesson with her. As a teacher, Yurika is energetic, patient, and incredibly sweet, always making sure I understand what she is saying and giving me plenty of opportunities to speak and express myself - always willing to help me create correct sentences if I’m challenging myself beyond the level of Japanese I am comfortable with. If I have a specific grammar point that I want to delve into, Yurika will prepare a lesson tailored towards that specific request. In case I don’t have any requests myself, she has plenty of ideas of what grammar and vocabulary I should learn next, always making sure to challenge me without going uncomfortably above my level. I always leave her lessons feeling like I’ve learned something new while having a lot of fun. She speaks English well and can explain both vocabulary and grammar in English, when I do not understand the Japanese explanation. ゆりかさん、今までありがとうございます!

She teaches very well, explains clearly, and is patient. She is very kind and doesn't put pressure on me during class. I always enjoy the class and learn a lot. :)

Thanks a bunch for the nice lesson! I've noticed that now I'm becoming more able to express myself in Japanese; moreover, thanks to Yurika-sensei I'm now able to explain the meaning of the word in Japanese instead of giving just an English translation - and this shows my progress quite clearly (I hadn't been able to do so before I started having lessons with Yurika-sensei). また来週!
