Hi! My name is Yusuke. I'm from Kobe, Japan and now live in Fukushima. Kobe is in the Kansai region, near Osaka and Kyoto. I speak Kansai dialect, so if you're interested in Kansai culture or want to learn Kansai-ben, I’d be a great teacher for you! I’ve traveled to 12 countries and run an Airbnb, so I often talk with people from around the world. I enjoy sharing Japanese culture through casual conversation. My hobbies include traveling, fashion, anime, and manga. I’ve visited many places across Japan and can share travel tips and local culture. Outside of teaching, I love connecting with people through culture and creativity. If you’re curious about Japan beyond textbooks, let’s talk!

優介先生、いつも優しく丁寧に教えてくださって本当にありがとうございます。私のレベルに合わせてくださるので、会話の中で安心に話せることができます。話したいことも自由に話させてくださっているので、いつも楽しくてとっても役に立ちます。さらに、自分の悪い口癖も直してくださって感謝しています。優介先生のレッスンでは、どんな質問でもあったら気楽に聞くことができて、本当にありがたいです。レッスンを通して、自分の日本語の話す自信がどんどん増えて来ました。 もしかしたら、日本語の先生が探しているなら、優介先生が本当にオススメです。

I really appreciate that Yusuke corrects my Japanese as we talk—thanks to that, I'm learning new ways to express myself and fixing some of the unnatural Japanese I've been using. Today, I found out that a couple of expressions I’ve been using for a long time were actually a bit off, but now that Yusuke pointed them out, I can finally fix them. As always, Yusuke’s class was super fun! Time passed too quickly. Today we chatted casually so I could practice Kansai dialect. If you’re interested in learning Kansai Japanese, I definitely recommend Yusuke—he speaks it for real haha.

One month after taking my previous lesson with Yusuke Sensei, I was very glad to learn that he was not just fully prepared as always, but also very eager to learn about my progress and discuss all the events the happened in the last month. We seriously had a very fun and engaging lesson, and if I had booked more than an hour - we could have probably continued going for another one! Highly recommend this teacher for both beginners and intermediate Japanese language learners!

So grateful for all the help yusuke has given me over the past year! I went from practically no japanese to being able to understand sentences and short conversations. Thank you Yusuke!
