Native Japanese Tutor in Cardiff — Personalised Lessons Rooted in Psychology

Hi, I’m Yuka — a native Japanese speaker and Psychology student at Cardiff University. I don’t just teach Japanese; I design lessons around how you personally learn best.
With over 2 years of teaching experience — including teaching English to students in Japan — I’ve learned that every learner is different. Some people need structure and grammar rules. Others learn best through conversation and real-life expressions. I adapt to you, not the other way around.
My lessons can include:
• Speaking and natural conversation practice
• Grammar explained in a way that actually makes sense
• Reading and writing (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji) from scratch
• Pronunciation coaching
• Japanese culture, slang, and everyday expressions
Whether you’re preparing for a trip to Japan, studying for an exam, interested in anime/manga, or simply curious about the language — I’ll build a lesson plan around your specific goal.
Lessons are available online or face-to-face in Cardiff. First lesson is free, so there’s no pressure — just come and see if we’re a good fit.
I’m patient, warm, and genuinely love seeing students make progress. Let’s learn together!
