Hello, my name is Yurika. I'm from Okinawa, japan. My hobby is playing the Sanshin, which is a traditional Okinawan musical instrument. If you're interested in Okinawan culture, I can tell you about it. I also enjoy studying languages and am currently learning some Spanish and Korean. In the future, I want to study more languages and travel to various countries. On my days off, I often go to cafes or watch movies on Netflix. Lately, I've been really into Anime and Korean dramas. I particularly like "Spy x Family" and "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." Thank you for reading. I am excited to talk with you all!Me as a Teacher
I studied Teaching Training Course as my major and Japanese Language Teaching Training Course as my minor. I taught English in high school for two years. I have also volunteered to teach Japanese at Japanese conversation circles and Ottawa Japanese language school as an assistant teacher when I was in Canada.
I am good at communicating, very flexible and a fun person to speak with. I would like to provide lessons that meet your needs and your goals. Please don't hesitate to ask questions about topics you are interested to learn. I will try my best to value your time. Let's enjoy learning together!! My lessons & teaching style
●Conversation class
The class is focused on Japanese conversation. I offer classes that meet the needs such as wanting to improve their daily conversation skills, wanting to speak only in Japanese, wanting to acquire speaking skills, and wanting to have free talks, etc.
●Beginner to Intermediate class
I will provide lessons based on the student's Japanese level and their needs. It's okay if you don't know Japanese at all. You can start learning hiragana, katakana, how to introduce yourself, how to use everyday greetings and phrases. For those who want to learn from the basics, I also teach basic grammar.My teaching material

10/10. highly recommend Yurika Sensei as a teacher if you're still deciding on find a Japanese language teacher. She is very patient and overall very joyful so each lesson feels fresh, brand new, and exciting without feeling too heavy.

A very enjoyable lesson as always. We cover so much but in such a clear and accessible way that it never feels overwhelming.

Such a fun lesson! I am getting back into learning Japanese after 15 years 😦, and ゆりか先生 is so warm and welcoming! I was a bit nervous at first, especially because I’ve forgotten so many things, but it’s such a fun and comfortable experience! I’m excited for our next one!
