Yukari

After the trial and first lesson I can say I greatly enjoy Yukari-san Sensei's teaching style. I like to learn by trying even if I fail, I have been allowed to take my time to enunciate the words even if I have to do it slowly. Giving me feedback if I need help or after I'm done my attempt whether I got it right or wrong it's a big thing for me. She smoothly repeated new words that maybe I had to slow down to say or got wrong to help reinforce how it should sound. The structure of the lessons so far show a clear flow of how your building skills upon skills to form more complex sentences. But more than Yukari-san herself is lively and makes the lessons fun and entertaining, laughing while learning is a great combination to make this experience very enjoyable!

I’ve taken thousands of hours of classes with several teachers on iTalki. Yukari 先生 is the most engaging, professional and fun teacher I’ve met! As a veteran language teacher myself, I appreciate how much hard work Yukari 先生 has put into perfecting her lesson materials with rich visuals and well-structured practice which helped me to master the grammar structures and key vocabulary easily. Moreover, I admire how Yukari 先生 always shows up with the brightest smiles and her laughs are contagious. She’s very empathetic and pays close attention to details. She tailors the lessons according to my needs. For example, I tend to forget the new vocabulary, so Yukari 先生 adds the vocab review frequently to reinforce my learning. She also tries to speak almost 100% Japanese that is comprehensible to me since I was a beginner. I look forward to every lesson with Yukari 先生! If you’re a beginner or want to practice conversation, Yukari 先生 will help you reach your goal while having lots of fun!

We are almost done with Unit 3! I am so happy with the pace of progress. I feel more and more accomplished. I am grateful for Yukari先生’s explanations. They make sense and I’m able to self-correct a little bit ☺️ Our back and forth is slowly getting longer! Woohoo! Thank you for making learning fun, Yukari先生！

Studying with a Yukari sensei through "Nihongo Fun and Easy " was an amazing experience, especially because I started from zero in Japanese!! Yukari-sensei was attentive and went above and beyond in her teaching process to provide an engaging and fun experience. I immediately noticed a significant improvement in my Japanese skills, and I was thrilled! Her helpful feedback and extra resources outside of class were valuable and will help me on my next trip to Japan. I cannot recommend Yukari enough to anyone seeking to enhance their language abilities. Don't hesitate to give it a try!

Thanks to scheduled lessons with Yukari先生, I am making consistent progress. Booking lessons has helped me with my commitment to learning and Yukari先生 is not just my teacher, but my accountability partner as well. Life gets busy and my work is challenging but Yukari先生 helps me show up. Today, at some point, Yukari先生 said my intonation is improving! Thank you, Yukari先生. I am accomplishing more with you AND applying what I have learned compared to trying to do it by myself. I am so grateful and happy.

My past lessons have been on Saturday’s and I have done weekday evening lessons too. At first, I was nervous because I worry about having difficulty with lessons after a long day of work but lessons feel like a hobby or help me feel recharged. Yukari先生 has really made me feel comfortable throughout lessons and this motivates me to focus more on speaking than worrying about making mistakes. Today, Yukari先生gave me a listening exercise and I found it a good addition to lessons. I didn’t expect to notice progress every lesson but it’s really happening!
