Yuka

Honest, Casual and 100% FUN! Lessons with Yuka-san feels like I'm talking to an old friend, with her cheerful demeanour, theres never a dull nor awkward moment in the 35+ conversation sessions I've had with her. You will look forward to lessons with Yuka because she pre-plans very interesting conversation topics together with you, giving beginners like me more time to jot down what to say during the actual lesson. Yuka is also very charismatic and patient, she has a very positive and nurturing vibe that makes even shy people want to open up and try sharing in Japanese! Believe me when I tell you, my confidence in speaking Japanese had an immense boost when I travelled to Japan, all because of the casual and comfortable setting that Yuka have provided as immersion during these lesson. All in all, high praises to Yuka and I look forward to more and more future conversations with her. p.s. She also has a fun, casual bite-sized podcast on apple/spotify :)

I just completed a 5-lesson package with Yuka-sensei, and I highly recommend her! I'm a beginner in Japanese and have a hard time holding even a basic conversation, but Yuka-sensei's patient, enthusiastic, and caring personality helps me do my best. Specifically, Yuka-sensei has a great understanding of the needs of a beginner. When she speaks in Japanese, she articulates very clearly, and if there is a word she thinks I might not know, she says the English right after she says the Japanese. That way, I learn the Japanese word naturally. She also uses hand gestures and other non-verbal cues to help me understand. Additionally, I like that when I'm speaking Japanese, Yuka-sensei will recast what I said but in a more clear, natural way. Like, "Yes! That's what I was trying to say!" Yuka-sensei is an amazing teacher!
