About Me
italki teacher since Sep 17, 2021InterestsArtTravelFood
Hi! my name is Yuka. I was born and raised in Okinawa, a small southern island in Japan.
I lived in the United States for 15 years but moved back to Okinawa recently. I love beaches, paddle boarding, hiking and anything I can enjoy outdoors. I also love to travel. I’ve been to many countries and I’m passionate about learning new cultures and languages. I love to meet new people. I consider myself friendly, patient, and easy going.Me as a Teacher
When you learn a new language, I think it’s important to set a goal, be consistent, and make it fun! I have experience interpreting English to Japanese and Japanese to English in Okinawa and the United States, so don’t worry if you don’t speak much Japanese, I’m here to help you understand and will adjust the class to your level. I’m very flexible so we will discuss what you want to focus on and I will plan your lessons accordingly.
新しい言葉を学ぶのに大切なことは、目標を定めること、少しづつ毎日積み重ねること、そして楽しむことだと思います。私は沖縄とアメリカで英語から日本語、日本語から英語の通訳の経験がありますので、あなたが日本語をあまり話せなくても大丈夫です。きちんと理解できるようにお手伝いしますし、あなたのレベルに合わせてレッスンを進めていきます。あなたが学びたいことにあわせて柔軟に対応していきます。My lessons & teaching style
From beginner to advanced, my class will be personalized according to your level and needs. Please let me know what you would like to learn, so together we can prepare the perfect plan to help you reach your goal.

Today was our last lesson of the year. Its been a pleasure working with Yuka sensei for over 80+ sessions. She has literally improved my speaking and lesson skills 10-fold. When I have any question, I know Yuka sensei will take the time to explain it in the easiest sense. I am excited for the next year working with Yuka!

I have been studying Japanese for 15 years and lived in Japan for about 4 and I can easily say that Yuka is the best Japnese teacher I've ever had. It can be really hard to find somebody who can teach beyond the intermediate level and it really stalled my learning for a long time. Yuka has a nack for really being able to zero in on your needs and build the lesson to custom fit you. I think this is especially important for the advanced level since you need to learn vocabulary, kanji, etc less and have to focus more on polishing your skills to really sound native and fluent. Yuka has improved my Japanese significanly in this way. Teachers who can teach at this level are extremely rare and I would encourage anybody at any level to learn with Yuka. She pushes you in motivating ways that really get great results.

Yuka-san is by far the best Japanese teacher. I have also had well over 4000 lessons in various languages on iTalki, and I can tell you that Yuka-san stands out among the 100+ teachers I have experienced as a knowledgeable, committed, conversationally adept, and humorous instructor. Thanks so much, Yuka-san!
