Ex-Editor and Marketing Professional. Proud to see my students grow each lesson. Hi, I'm Yukari — a qualified Japanese teacher who grew up in Tokyo and Yokohama, now based in Paris. Before teaching, I worked as an editor and marketing professional — a career spent on the creative side of language and communication. That, combined with a genuine curiosity about people and the world, brought me to teaching. My interests span science, art, architecture, music, and the outdoors. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me at the gym, in the pool, at a concert, or on holiday, hiking, sea swimming, or skiing. I teach learners aged 16 and up. Lessons are tailored to your goals and interests — though please note I don't cover travel Japanese.

日本語教師養成講座を修了、オンライン・オフライン含めて8年以上の教師経験があります。 I believe that everyone has their own reason for wanting to learn Japanese—whether it’s to learn about the culture, use it for work, or study abroad. Drawing on the language and communication skills I developed as an international flight attendant, I strive to quickly understand each student’s needs and offer lesson plans that match their level and goals. However, in any class, I place the most importance on giving students time to actively participate and express themselves. I want to help as many people as possible experience the joy of communicating their thoughts in a foreign language and the satisfaction of being understood.
