About me
Translated
Hello! ☺️ I’m Yuri, your Japanese teacher 🌷
I’m a native Japanese speaker, and I also speak Spanish and a little English 😉
Thank you so much for all the messages. I’m really happy. 😆
I can’t explain everything perfectly in English 😭
I can manage at a basic level, but there are many excellent teachers on LearnZone, so if someone prefers classes entirely in English, please look for a good teacher 😆
Even though I can’t speak English perfectly, I can definitely offer fun lessons! ❗️😆
I lived in Mexico for five and a half years 🇲🇽,
so I understand how challenging it can be to learn a foreign language ☺️
Now I live in Japan 🇯🇵
I’m from Osaka, and I can speak the local dialect 🐙.
If you don’t understand any Japanese, don’t worry! 😉 Let’s study together in a fun way 🎵
It might not show in the trial lesson, but…
I truly value and care about each of my students. 😌
I’m sure you won’t regret choosing me. 😆
Let’s study Japanese together. 😆
In Mexico, I taught Japanese as a volunteer because I wanted my friends to learn more about Japan 🎵
After returning to Japan, I studied at a specialized academy to become a Japanese teacher 🇯🇵
Also, before I started teaching on LearnZone, I passed an official certification for teaching the Japanese language ✏️🧑🏫

I cannot recommend my Japanese teacher enough. She is incredibly patient and always takes the necessary time to ensure that I truly understand, rather than just memorizing. No matter how many questions I have, she is always kind, understanding, and genuinely interested in my progress. Her knowledge of the language and Japanese culture is exceptional, and she explains everything in a clear, interesting, and easy-to-understand manner. What really sets her apart is how much she cares about her students' learning. She not only teaches Japanese but also helps to develop confidence and motivation in the process. Since I started learning with her, it has truly been a life-changing experience. My understanding of Japanese, my appreciation for the culture, and even my personal growth have improved tremendously. I am very grateful to have met her and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Japanese seriously. Thank you, teacher Yurie!

Learning something new is always better when you have the right person guiding you. Yuri has made the start of my Japanese learning journey enjoyable, encouraging, and motivating. I couldn’t ask for a better sensei to learn with.

I highly recommend this teacher. Besides being fun, she adapts her teaching to your level of Japanese, always prepares her classes according to what you want to learn, and has her own personalized material for her lessons. Additionally, she communicates perfectly in Spanish.
