Hi, my name is Yuko. I'm from Nagasaki.
I like traveling, watching Netflix, listening to music, cooking etc.
My family are farmers so I love being in nature. We grow rice, oranges, and some vegetables. And also, every year we make traditional Japanese food like miso, umeboshi and mochi. I've been studying about kimono(Japanese traditional clothes) too. Not only the language, but also I want to share our Japanese culture.

Me as a Teacher
I've taught Japanese in Portland, Oregon, US, then I came back to Japan and taught English for a junior high school and elementary schools. Now, I'm teaching Japanese for non Japanese speakers and teaching English for Japanese online and offline. I really enjoy my jobs and am happy to see my student's progress.
アメリカのオレゴン州(しゅう)で日本語(にほんご)を教(おし)えたことがあります。日本(にほん)に帰(かえ)ってきてからは、小中学校(しょうちゅうがっこう)で英語(えいご)を教(おし)えていました。今はオンラインと対面式で英語と日本語を教えています。
I'm certificated in teaching Japanese as a foreign language, and I have an English teacher's license in Japan.

My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are very flexible. I can change my teaching style depending on the student's level and needs.
Please feel free to tell me what you want to learn.
If you want something more advanced we can have conversations, read articles, practice vocabulary together. I'll help you to be fluent in Japanese!
If you consider yourself as a beginner, we can practice hiragana / katakana / kanji, basic vocabulary and conversations, and grammar.
I speak Japanese mainly in my lessons but I can help you in English if you need. Don't worry!
Let's have fun in learning Japanese.

I've had multiple lesson with Yuko-San now and I really enjoy her teaching style! She is very organized and I learn new vocab that I can use right away in every class. There is a good mix between a more formal lesson style where she explains grammar points and where I can practice reading and speaking with examples and conversational style where I can use what I just learned naturally. She is very motivating, conversations are always fun, and I look forward to meeting with her every week :D

Yuko is a great teacher and I would totally recommend her for anyone who wants to learn Japanese! Learning with Yuko has been a fun and positive experience, and I’ve already learned so much after only two lessons. Her lessons are find and flexible, and I’ve had a great time learning Japanese with her.

Yuko is a kind teacher who is flexible and willing to customize to your needs. Because I'm living in Japan for several months, she was willing to adjust her materials to teach me "everyday" situations that I might encounter (i.e., in a convenience store, restaurants, etc.) so what I learn is more practical and interactive as opposed to purely grammar-based/textbook-style.

My trial lesson with Yuko-sensei was really good. She was very kind and patient as I tried to speak in Japanese. She is very encouraging and no matter your level, I think she can be very helpful in learning.
