Me as a Teacher
I love teaching Japanese to all motivated students. I teach not only the language but also socio-cultural customs.
I teach students from 13 year-old to 65 year-old (I don't teach children).
◆ I speak 4 languages fluently: Japanese, English, Spanish and French.
It helps me explain the course subject in the language of your choice.
I can give you some tips to learn a foreign language efficiently!
◆Cancellation policy◆
As stated in the italki lesson policy, in case of no show or cancellation with less than 24 hour-notice, the lesson price will be charged in full. No make up lesson for the time lost. Thank you for understanding.

Yuko-sensei is a phenomenal teacher - any day that I'm feeling a little nervous for class because I feel insecure in my Japanese or under-prepared for our lesson, I end up leaving the class with a renewed sense of self-confidence. That motivation & confidence she gives me paired with how helpful her explanations are make classes with her invaluable!! I can't recommend Yuko-sensei highly enough! ありがとうございます!

Wonderful lesson as always. I've always been the type to start learning how to do something and she has been supportive and encouraging enough that I would never consider giving up on learning Japanese.
