About Me

Hi! I am Fuka. I love traveling and meeting new people, trying new things and learning about different cultures. I always wanted to see the world for as long as I can remember. That was my motivation to learn English. Not to study it, but to USE it. So even though I didn’t get to study English or travel outside of Japan as a child, I loved watching movies and TV shows in English and dreamed of adventuring around the world on my own, using English to make it possible. Now I am a teacher here on italki and also a digital nomad for the past few years. I enjoy both being outdoors and a couch potato, talking with people, taking photos, chasing sunsets, surfing and feeding random cats. I’m not big on studying per se. I believe we get good at what we are motivated to do. Language learning is not a simple process, and there are lots of ways to do it. If your focus is conversation and practical use, my lessons would be perfect for you. I do have teacher certification as a Japanese instructor. And I can also help explain passages and patterns in English. I will use conversation starters and textbooks to get you speaking, but your italki time is your time. We will talk about issues and do practical exercises that you are interested in.

Fuka-sensei is an amazing teacher, she takes time to explain the topics, and works at a great pace. She gives plenty of time for figuring out the answers to the questions, and is very patient overall. She also gives plenty of examples for any questions we may have for her. She is a great teacher that is helping us reach our goals to learn Japanese.

This was my 180th lesson with Fuka sensei. Fuka sensei was the first sensei I booked on iTalki and she has always been a massive influence on my Japanese studies. Fuka sensei has helped me enormously ever since our first lesson. Her encouragement, gentle corrections, exemplary conduct, wonderfully cheerful and bright personality is heaven sent. I couldn't ask for anything more from Fuka sensei, she ticks each and every box of what a good sensei should be. I always look forward to each and every one of our lessons as I know they'll always be enjoyable, educational and I'll come out with a humongous smile of satisfaction. 本当にありがとうございました。また木曜日に。

Fuka-san is an incredible teacher. She is very patient and kind, yet thorough. I’d recommend her to my friends.

I came into the lesson very nervous about speaking. I've been studying for months, but can't seem to put any thoughts into words. Fuka-sensei listened to my concerns and helped come up with a plan to help me speak comfortably. I am incredibly excited to take my Japanese to a conversational level with her!

It’s been a few months since my lesson with Fula-San but she welcomed me back like an old friend! It was a wonderful lesson and she helped me review and made me realize I still was able to speak well!

Fūka-san's lessons are a breath of fresh air. She is quick to tailor the lessons around your goals, a good explainer, patient, and always supportive with a smile. When my Japanese isn't advanced enough to absorb the nuance, breaking out into English is no problem - hers is excellent
