Hello! I'm Yuka, a native Japanese speaker with over 20 years of experience in global corporate environments, including international banking and the airline industry. This experience has allowed me to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and gain understanding of their cultures and perspectives.
What I truly enjoy is meaningful conversations and discovering new perspectives together that inspire personal growth and deeper learning. I’m here to help you gain the confidence to speak Japanese naturally and comfortably by creating a supportive environment. Whether you’re interested in Japanese culture, daily life, or work-related topics, I’m happy to support your learning journey.
Ik als leerkracht
Born and raised in Japan, I’ve spent over 20 years thriving in global corporate environments, which has allowed me to embrace a broad, open-minded perspective. While I understand and appreciate Japan’s unique culture, I value a multifaceted approach that goes beyond traditional boundaries. This mindset has shaped the way I communicate, blending flexibility with cultural understanding.
As a language tutor, I prioritize communication over perfection, focusing on real-world practice and meaningful conversations. I help you use Japanese for genuine interaction, building fluency and confidence through practical use.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons go beyond textbook learning, focusing on conversations that inspire personal growth. Rather than memorization, I prioritize natural, meaningful discussions for an immersive experience. Whether spontaneous chats or structured topics, lessons are flexible and based on your interests. The goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable expressing yourself.
While grammar is not the main focus, I'm happy to support you with explanations whenever needed. These lessons are ideal for learners who already have a foundation and wish to grow through natural conversation.

Yuka-san was a great listener who gathered information about my situation and was able to adjust to my needs. She also came up with a learning plan that suits my needs. Additionally, she provided me with important context in terms of my family and I transitioning as foreigners into Japanese culture. She was pleasant, funny, and down-to-earth, while being a straightforward teacher at the same time.

I have been learning Japanese with Yuka-san for quite some time now, and every lesson is an absolute pleasure. Her teaching style is engaging, dynamic, and always tailored to my interests and learning needs.
What makes her lessons stand out is not just the language instruction, but the depth of cultural, historical, and business insights she shares. I always come away having learned something new, whether it’s about current trends in Japan, historical events, or unique aspects of Japanese business culture.
Yuka-san creates a comfortable and motivating learning environment, making even complex topics feel approachable. I can only highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Japanese in a meaningful and enjoyable way!
