My name is Yuko, originally from southern Japan. I am a 100% native Japanese teacher with over 10 years of experience. I was born and raised in Japan and have studied and worked in several different countries: 2 years in the United States, 2 years in Canada, 3 years in Spain, 13 years in France. I have degrees in literature and foreign languages from several countries. I completed training in language teaching pedagogy during my degree. I also have a master's degree in international management acquired in France. I've trained over 700 students from different countries. Some students have already gone to Japan to make their dreams come true! I have helped many students pass and succeed in the JLPT exam from N5 to N1 using my methods. My classes adapt to all levels and to your needs! - You are passionate about the Japanese language and culture. - You already have basic Japanese but you would like to practice speaking. - You want to take some courses before going to Japan for the Working Holiday Visa. - You want to prepare for a business trip or for tourism. - You want to prepare for the JLPT N1-N5 exam or the Japanese LV3 baccalaureate. Students who have learned on their own or in other schools (group classes, degree in Japanese) take classes with me to deepen their learning or to practice their basic Japanese. The advantage of private lessons is that your teacher will be able to quickly identify your weak points and help you correct and improve them as you go. The advantage of lessons given by a native speaker is that I manage the conversation according to your level of Japanese. I know Japanese social codes, everyday language, history, current trends and the nuance of the language. There are grammatical points that we learn at school but that we do not use in everyday life or we say the sentence differently. I explain all this delicate nuance of the Japanese language during classes. Japanese classes can be taught in Japanese, Spanish, English or French. Japanese is my native language and I know the complexity of this language. I would like to share the beauty of this language with you! In language classes, you obviously also learn about your culture. Teaching Japanese is my passion. Learning Japanese will be so enriching for you!
