Yurika

I just finished my first lesson with Yurika. I'm very happy I chose her as my first ever Japanese tutor and would be love to do another lesson with her in the future. I definitely recommend her. Here are some observations for those considering paying for a conversation practice: 1. She had many questions prepared for me so there was never any long gaps of silence. 2. Her speech is very easy to understand. She spoke very clearly and not to fast. 3. Whenever I wanted to talk she let me and understood me very well even though I have such broken Japanese. 4. She wasn't rude at all and didn't seem to care when I said something stupid sounding. 5. She was punctual and made sure not to waste any time. Thank you Yurika for the lesson!

After trialing multiple teachers on italki, I have found Yurika to be the most suited for my learning. Her preparedness for each lesson is impressive; she consistently comes with well-organized materials, and we are currently using material from the Genki 1 textbook. One of the standout qualities of Yurika's teaching is the ample opportunity she provides for practicing speaking and listening in Japanese. Her method pushes me to my limits, encouraging me to stretch my abilities and build confidence. At the same time, Yurika is very supportive and can seamlessly switch to English if I struggle, ensuring that I never feel lost or overwhelmed. Overall, Yurika's teaching style is a perfect blend of challenge and support. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about improving their Japanese.

I had so much fun learning with Yurika-san for an upcoming trip to Japan. Her lessons are always exciting and engaging. She uses a lot of cute and fun material good for visual learners and lots of mini quizzes to help the language stick. I always look forward to her class. Highly recommend.

Another awesome lesson with Yurika. She adapts to any student's needs and does it perfectly. Thank you so much, this is a big help for me!

My first lesson with Yurika went well. She had prepared many slides with examples from the Genki book to practice. Very pleasant teacher!

I had a thoroughly amazing lesson with Yurika. She gave me ample opportunities to practice speaking and to make conversation with the little Japanese I knew. She was good at going through textbook content and answering my questions about grammar. I am excited to keep taking lessons with her.
