Hello, I’m Yuka! I was born in Osaka and now live in Nagano, surrounded by the Alps.
I’ve worked as a web writer for 6 years, a Pilates trainer for 10 years, and an inbound tour guide in Kobe. I’ve learned how to connect with people through language.
I’ve also lived in the U.S. to pursue dance, experiencing different cultures and perspectives. I’m learning German to talk with my partner’s family, so I know the frustration and joy of expressing yourself.
I’ve traveled to Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. I also love exploring Japan through hiking and travel, enjoying nature and wildlife.

Tôi với tư cách là giáo viên
There are 2 reasons I became a Japanese teacher. First, when I was teaching Pilates to many international clients in Tokyo, I really enjoyed supporting them physically and mentally and connecting with people. I really love talking with people from all over the world!
And second, as a writer, I find Japanese is a very unique and beautiful language. Especially, reading and writing Japanese is my passion, so I can help you find the most natural expressions that textbooks don't teach.
My goal is to create a safe space where you can speak at ease. I'm very relaxed and always give positive feedback, so don't be afraid of making mistakes!

Having fun is the most important thing in my lesson! I’m here to support your unique goals in a calm, supportive atmosphere.

Yuka is a great teacher, especially if you are a complete beginner. She does not have a problem taking the lesson at your pace or repeating herself for you. I have taken another good lesson with her and though I am very new to Japanese, she knows a lot about the language beyond just being a native speaker so I recommend her for learners at any level.

Had another great lesson with Yuka-san. ✨ She guided our convo and was very helpful by teaching me new words. Her lessons are very relaxed so I can make mistakes without feeling pressure.

Another great lesson with Yuka. I feel that I will really be able to grasp the language more as we continue on practicing together and she is very flexible in working with your personal learning style
