Yukiko has over 15 years of experience teaching Japanese to learners from beginner to advanced levels. She completed the 420-hour Japanese teacher training course and has lived in both the U.S. and France while accompanying her husband’s studies. These experiences gave her firsthand insight into the challenges of living abroad and the frustration of not being able to express oneself in a new language.
Before becoming a Japanese teacher, Yukiko worked in finance and HR at a Japanese company, navigating a male-dominated, hierarchical workplace. She also holds a master-level license in calligraphy and has introduced Japanese culture through calligraphy workshops at language schools.
