About Me

Hi! I’m Yuki, a native Japanese speaker from Osaka, currently based in the Netherlands. I’m fluent in both standard Japanese and the Osaka dialect.
I love singing nostalgic songs from the Showa era, diving into novels by Toyoko Yamasaki and Jirō Nitta, and cheering on rugby matches. During my university years, I was deeply passionate about mountain climbing.
I also hold a 3rd Dan rank in Kendo, a traditional Japanese martial art. Training in Kendo has shaped my sense of discipline, sharpened my focus, and deepened my appreciation for Japanese culture.Me as a Teacher
I’m a certified Japanese teacher, having passed the Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test and completed 420 hours of formal training. I also bring extensive experience from working in Japanese companies—especially in airport customer service, where I developed strong skills in polite, professional communication.
I truly enjoy sharing the depth and beauty of Japanese language and culture with learners from around the world.My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my lessons to each student's goals and needs—whether you're starting from hiragana and katakana, exploring kanji step by step, or diving into grammar, vocabulary, and natural conversation. You can even learn Osaka dialect and local culture through expressive phrases and fun comparisons. My teaching style is friendly, flexible, and designed to make Japanese feel more approachable, engaging, and meaningful for each learner.My teaching material
