    About me

    Ciao a tutti! I’m Yuriko, a language tutor with over 5 years of experience. I love helping students feel confident and comfortable speaking a new language.

    My lessons are relaxed, interactive, and focused on real-life communication.

    Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to sound more natural and fluent, I’ll tailor each lesson to your goals.

    Come learn, practice, and enjoy the process...mistakes welcome!


    My teaching journey began during a trip to Japan, while exploring the country where my name originates. It was there that I discovered my passion for helping international students connect with the Italian language and culture.


    Since then, I’ve worked with students from all over the world, helping them prepare for Italian language certifications such as PLIDA, CELI, and CILS, as well as supporting those planning to travel, study, or work in Italy.


    I believe effective learning comes from the right balance of grammar, vocabulary, and communication, always adapted to each student’s goals and learning style.


    Whether starting from scratch or refining existing skills, my goal is to create an authentic connection with the Italian language and culture in a fun and effective way.

    I also offer trial lessons, which provide the opportunity to discuss goals and design a personalized learning path.

      Yuriko is an amazing teacher who always has all of her lessons prepared! She teaches me about a lot of different topics, covering not only grammar and vocabulary, but also having special lessons about the Italian culture. I started from the very beginning not knowing a single word of Italian and I already started seeing progress after only 3 lessons with her. She's a very kind and patient person and always helps me if I don't know how to say something. She also knows a lot of other languages (like French) and helps me understand Italian better by linking it to French and showing the similarities between them. I would really recommend her to everyone and I don't think there's a better Italian teacher on LearnZone than her!

    My specialties

    Conversational Italian

    Parliamo in italiano!Sono propensa a effettuare lezioni di conversazione in quanto ritengo che prima di passare alla grammatica, per imparare bene una lingua, è necessario cogliere il senso: preferisco dare priorità alla comunicazione! Dopodiché è possibile passare al perfezionamento con gli strumenti grammaticali.

    Italian for beginners

    Piano piano, impariamo insieme :)Con me, non c'è bisogno di preoccuparsi per gli errori, ho molta pazienza ed empatia. Capisco come possa essere difficile per un principiante iniziare una nuova lingua da 0: rispetto i ritmi di tutti i miei studenti.

    Intensive Italian

    Metti alla prova il tuo italiano!Particolarmente adatto per le persone che hanno già una base solida: in questo tipo di lezioni mi piace analizzare qualche articolo di giornale o telematico cercando di sostenere i miei studenti più esperti a intrattenere delle conversazioni con un vocabolario più ricercato.

    General Italian

    Chiariamo i tuoi dubbi!Con questo tipo di lezioni, lascio che sia il mio studente a scegliere l'argomento di preferenza, che sia grammatica o d cultura generale, sono pronta a soddisfare i dubbi di tutti e su tutto :)

    Italian Literature

    Parliamo di letteratura italiana!Queste lezioni sono dedicate agli amanti della lettura, o agli studenti: per chiunque stia leggendo un libro e voglia un aiuto durante la sua lettura ed eventuale traduzione, sono disposta ad affiancare lo studio di chiunque :)

    Business Italian

    Prepariamoci al mondo del lavoro!Adatto in particolare a chi voglia ricevere una preparazione per dei colloqui di lavoro o per entrare nel mondo del lavoro in generale in Italia. In questo caso predilisco dei " role-plays" che ritengo siano molto utili.
