Build natural Japanese! Native Teacher | 9+ Yrs Exp | English/Español OK Hi there! I’m a native Japanese teacher from Yokohama, dedicated to teaching students from all over the world. With over 9 years of experience and more than 3000 lessons completed, I have taught Japanese in language institutions and online to students of all ages. I am professionally trained, having completed the Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course at The World Japanese Language Center in Australia. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 20 years working in the Japanese corporate world. This experience allows me to help you with honorifics (Keigo) and business conversation if you ever need them for your career. The most important thing to me is that our lessons are fun, friendly, and enjoyable. I focus on conversation and love to adapt each session to suit your needs and mood on the day. As a fellow language learner who has studied English and Spanish, I truly understand the challenges and the "embarrassment" one can sometimes feel. You will never feel that way with me! I strive to create a relaxed environment where we can build a great relationship. If you get stuck, I can support you with explanations in English or Spanish. I always aim to bring calm and positive energy into our lessons to make your learning experience as pleasant as possible. I look forward to meeting you!

Japanese Conversation | Speak Naturally, Express Yourself Clearly Hello. I'm Yuka, a native Japanese speaker with over 20 years of professional experience in global business environments, primarily in international banking. Throughout my career, I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. These experiences have shaped how I see communication—not simply as the exchange of words, but as a way to understand one another and share what truly matters. I believe language is an important part of communication, but words themselves are only one part of the process. What makes communication meaningful is the thought, intention, and personal experience behind those words. As a Japanese tutor, I create a space where learners can explore ideas, express their perspectives, and build confidence in communicating in Japanese. My lessons focus on helping learners express their own thoughts and experiences naturally in Japanese through meaningful conversation, rather than textbook-based learning. We can explore a wide range of topics, including culture, values, work, and life experiences, while developing more natural, authentic Japanese expression. I look forward to meaningful conversations. ⋆ はじめまして、Yukaと申します。 すでに日本語で会話はできる。でも、もっと自分の考えや経験を、自然に表現したい。 そんな方との対話を大切にしています。 20年以上、外資系金融を中心としたグローバルな環境で働き、さまざまな国や文化背景を持つ方々と関わってきました。 その経験を通じて、コミュニケーションでは、単に正しい言葉を使うだけでなく、自分の考えを相手に伝わる形で表現することが大切だと感じています。 私のレッスンでは、ご自身の経験や考えを日本語で整理し、より自然で伝わりやすい表現を一緒に磨いていきます。 文化、価値観、仕事、人生経験など、話したいテーマを通して、より自然に日本語で表現する力を磨いていきましょう。 皆さんとお話しできることを楽しみにしています。

Let's enjoy studying Japanese! 翻訳の仕事をしているので日本語の細かいニュアンスを伝えることができます。以前はホテルで働いていたので丁寧な日本語も教えることができます。特にフランス語圏の方につきましては間違いやすいポイントを知っていますので初級から上級者の方に対応いたします。 J'enseigne souvent le japonais surtout à mes amis francophones. Je connais donc les points dans lesquels les Francophones ont tendance à se tromper. Comme je travaille en tant que traducteur, je peux transmettre les nuances subtiles du japonais. Je peux aussi enseigner le japonais poli grâce à mon expérience dans l’hôtellerie. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since August. And since I work as a translator, I can explain the subtle nuances of Japanese. I can also teach polite Japanese thanks to my experience in the hotel business.

Professional qualified teacher who has taught at a Japanese language school in the Los Angeles area Beginners with Genki 1 & Genki 2 are welcome. As I reflect back on the various occupations I’ve had, I see a common ground in all of them; a teacher. I have taught English in Prep Schools, I was a Christian Pastor teaching the Bible in churches, I was a communication skills trainer at the mentally handicapped training center and now I am a Japanese language teacher for foreigners and missionaries. The greatest joy as a teacher is to share the moment with the student when the unknown becomes known and understood. There is joy in understanding intellectually with the mind, as well as the excitement of understanding with the heart. I teach with Genki 1 for beginners and Genki 2.

多くの国を訪問し、文化や言葉の違いを学んできました。日本に興味のある人たちに日本語も教えてきました。オーストラリアでは、高校での日本語の授業にアシスタントとして働いていたこともあります。私自身も多言語を学んできたからこそ、異国語を学ぶことの難しさを知っています。分かりやすく、言葉を学ぶことに飽きない、楽しい授業をしていきたいと思います。 I have 4 years of experience working in various roles from language teacher in a one-on-one session to group session, culture, and travel advisor.
