Hi! My name is Yukari. I am a native Japanese speaker.
I learned English in England at a language school for about two years. I made a lot of friends from literally all over the world !
I got married to an American and I immigrated to the States with our two-year-old son in 2004. I've lived in Arizona, California and am currently living in Texas.
Me as a Teacher
Through teaching my son Japanese, I became very patient and I noticed that for some reason, some words or phrases cannot stick in your head. You might be embarrassed to ask me the same questions over and over but please don't be! That happens to everyone. It's just a part of the process for learning a new language!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!
My lessons & teaching style
While talking, I'll pick up and write down your mistakes but not fix them because I don't want to interrupt the flow of the conversation.
I'll tell you some of your mistakes and correct them or try to make it sound more natural at the end of each lesson and at the beginning of the next lesson. I'll remind you of your mistakes from the previous lesson.
The reason why I do that is because studies show that things are more memorable for the human brain at the beginning and end of an event.
You'll find out how effective my method is!
So what are you waiting for? I'm looking forward to seeing you!

My trial lesson with Yukari-sensei was fun and I learned a lot in such a short time. I would recommend her style of teaching to anyone shy about speaking but serious about learning. She was so engaging that I forgot about being too embarrassed to speak in Japanese.

Very good at keeping the conversation rolling. Yukari-san will make sure to keep you talking and is not afraid to point out areas for improvement in a polite and considerate manner. Thank you very much for a wonderful lesson!

It's been a while since I left a written review, but today was another great lesson by Yukari sensei! Has her material all ready for the lesson, and she is very flexible when I have questions or want to move ahead of schedule. Looking forward to next week!
