Popular among advanced students;
Hello! I’m Yumiko, and I live in Aichi Prefecture.
My hobbies are traveling, cafe hopping, and visiting shrines. Things I love include nature, coffee, giraffes, koalas, and folk crafts.
I studied abroad in Taiwan during my university years, so I can speak conversational Chinese. I can also speak English at a conversational level.
I’m happy to discuss a wide range of topics, from anime and manga to shrines and Japanese mythology!
During lessons, I will encourage you with a bright smile☺️.
I look forward to meeting all of you!

I have worked in a large company with over 100 years of history, in a fast-paced venture, and as a sole proprietor exhibiting at trade shows. These experiences taught me the importance of subtle and effective communication in Japanese society.
In my lessons for intermediate and advanced learners, I use authentic materials such as news articles, essays, and cultural texts. Rather than simply reviewing grammar, we focus on refining expression, deepening nuance, and gaining the confidence to handle complex communication. I can also support specialized areas such as keigo, classical Japanese, and traditional poetry.
