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!

About Me

I am 100% native Japanese with 9 years of experience as a Japanese teacher.

I have trained more than 90 students in Europe. Some students have already gone to Japan to realize their dreams!

Some students have passed the JLPT N5 and N4 exams using my methods and I am also training some students (advanced level N3, N2) for the JLPT N1.

Students who have learned on their own or in other schools (group classes, Japanese bachelor's degree) come to take classes with me to deepen their learning or to practice their basic Japanese.

The advantage of private lessons is that the teacher can quickly recognize your weaknesses and help you to correct and improve each time.

The advantage of lessons given by a native teacher of the language is that she can change the way she speaks according to your level because she speaks the language.

I know Japanese social codes, everyday language, history, current trends and the nuance of the language.
There are grammatical points that we learn in school but we do not use in everyday life or we say the phrase differently.
I explain all this delicate nuance of the Japanese language during class.

All depends on your purpose!

Japanese classes can be taught in Japanese, Spanish, English or French.

Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your linguistic journey with my hardest!! My lessons will be provided in English and Japanese!

First of all, I truly appreciate and respect your decision to learn Japanese—one of the most challenging languages to master.
Currently, I am also learning Arabic and French myself, so I completely understand how tough it is to learn new languages from the start, and there’s no easy way to acquire a new language. That’s why I’d love to help you with mine, which happens to be one of the hardest!

The goal of this class is to achieve JLPT N1. This is for those who already obtain N2 or who have the knowledge equivalent to N2.

After achieving N2, maybe you lost your goal and don't know what to do or what to aim at. Maybe, N1 is on of your option. Achieving N1 is for sure a tough and rough way to go, but that is why I'm here!

I provide Japanese lessons for Japanese language learners.
I focus on conversation practice, correcting mistakes and showing you more natural expressions.
We may also study grammar and practice reading and listening comprehension as necessary.
In my lessons, I may use Japanese textbooks ("Minna no Nihongo" beginner level, "Irodori" online site) or original materials.

For beginners, I also use English or Chinese. At the intermedite levels, lessons are primarily conducted in Japanese so that students can be exposed to as much Japanese as possible.

Japanese is a beautiful language brimming with culture, but unfortunately, it's also difficult to get started. If you're lost for the trees (or the kanji), or haven't even dared to try it yet, but have suddenly been bitten by the Japanese bug, then you've come to the right place.

I'll teach you the basics of Japanese and grow completely at your level. You'll receive customized learning materials, and I can provide homework assignments if needed. Once you've mastered the basics, we can expand to cultural nuances and more advanced language skills. You can also "request topics." Is there something specific you'd like to learn? Are you preparing for a vacation, or do you simply want to improve your writing? Let me know!

The course emphasizes interactive learning, allowing you to practice speaking, reading, and writing in realistic contexts.

By the end of the course, you will be able to communicate effectively in daily situations, participate in professional conversations, and gain confidence in both casual and business Japanese. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to improve your professional Japanese skills, this course provides a structured and practical path to fluency.
