About Me

Hello! I’m Yumiko, your friendly Japanese tutor from Osaka. With 7 years of teaching on italki, I specialize in *natural conversation practice* for all levels—whether you’re a beginner or refining fluency. I love sharing Japan’s culture through relaxed chats. Travel, food, or daily life—let’s talk about what *you* enjoy! My lessons are flexible, fun, and tailored to your goals.
こんにちは！大阪在住の日本語講師、ゆみこです。italkiで7年間、初心者から上級者まで*自然な会話*を中心に教えてきました。文化や日常を気軽に話せるレッスンを提供します。旅行、料理、スポーツ…あなたの好きな話題で日本語を練習しましょう！楽しいレッスンでお待ちしています。
I have experience teaching kids, so I’m aware of the struggles that language learners can experience. It doesn’t matter what level of Japanese you have, as I can also help you in English if you prefer, even though I'm not quite fluent in English yet though. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, so let's have fun learning together!
私は子どもの英語の先生の経験があるので、生徒さんが何で苦労しているのか分かります。日本語のレベルは関係ありませんので、ご希望があれば英語を使いながら日本語を教えることも可能です。英語がそんなに上手ではないですが、教えることが好きなので一緒に楽しみながら学びましょう！
In my lessons, I am totally open to students' requests. I mainly focus on conversation, using either textbooks or topics for discussion. You can also use your own textbooks or materials if you prefer. I organize our lessons flexibly. I have Japanese textbooks available, such as Genki 2nd edition and Minna no Nihongo. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
私の授業では生徒さんのリクエスト通りのレッスンをします。主にレッスンでは、会話の練習や教科書を使ったり、何かのトピックについて話しをしています。もし使いたい教科書や教材があれば教えてください。柔軟に対応します。私はGenki第二版とMinna no Nihongoを持っています。もし質問があればお気軽にメッセージ...My teaching material

With Yumiko's help, I'm able to read written stories at an N4 level, 4 months after starting to learn Japanese. She even wrote out the story in hiragana afterwards. An amazing teacher, definitely the best I've had on Italki.
