Yuka

I've been having classes every week with Yuka-san for the last 6 months and honestly, she makes it so comfortable to talk with her. She's very friendly and makes sure to repeat what I said in a cleaner Japanese. She usually has a topic ready for each lesson, or you could side track to different subjects. She's very good with follow-up questions and she also has a lot of interesting things to share about Japan. One of the most enjoyable teachers I've ever had. It's less focused on speaking correct Japanese and more on learning how to speak comfortably and naturally in the language.

ゆか先生、いつも明るく楽しい授業をありがとうございます！日本語を教えてくださって本当に感謝しています！🥹 また今度ね！

Yuka-san is always fun to chat with and I look forward to our conversation practice every week. There’s never an awkward moment of silence during our lessons!

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 :)

Yuka-sensei makes speaking Japanese fun, even when I struggle with finding the right words. Yuka-sensei's personality is very bubbly and warm, and she has this gift for keeping a conversation interesting and fun, even when I can't say very nuanced things in Japanese. I highly recommend her!

Yuka sensei is very engaging and funny! She comes up with new topics to discuss every time and is very laid back
