Hello! My name is Yasuko Miyahira. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I am from Akita, Japan, a native Japanese speaker, and have been working as a Japanese language instructor and tutor for 4 years. And I absolutely love it! I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Linguistics from Brigham Young University. I have taught several Japanese courses in a college, small group classes, and one-on-one private tutoring (both in person and via online platforms). I have worked with many students in elementary, middle, and high school, and adult students, and helped them improve their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. I am patient, positive, encouraging, and love to help students achieve their goals!

During our first session, we can speak in Japanese and English to assess where you are in your Japanese learning journey, establish clear and achievable goals you would like to accomplish through our tutoring sessions, and get to know each other! Please share your hopes and dreams, your passions and interests, and how you learn the best. We will create learning plans and decide on resources you would like to use moving forward. Please share any thoughts and insights you would like me to know!

Depending on your goals, our future sessions will look different - our focus, how we spend the time, and which resources we will use. Each of our sessions will be tailored to meet your needs, goals, and learning styles. It can be as structured or relaxed as you want it to be. I am here to help YOU succeed. My primary goals for each session are these: 1) You enjoy and progress each session, and 2) I teach you the real, natural, and applicable Japanese spoken by native Japanese speakers.

Whether you are a complete beginner who is excited to get started on this journey of learning Japanese, or an experienced Japanese learner who wants to take your Japanese to the next level, I would love to work with you and help you succeed and excel! Looking forward to meeting you in our next session!

I am native Japanese speaker with total of 4 years of experience in teaching beginner, intermediate, and advanced level Japanese learners of various ages (grade schools, college, and graduate school students, and adults). I also have helped students who are preparing to take and pass JLPT exams. I love to help students build good Japanese foundation with practical and useful grammar concepts and vocabulary, improve pronunciation and fluency, and find excitement of learning and becoming fluent in Japanese!

Amazing Sensai

Ms. Yasuko is a kind, intuitive, amazing teacher with incredible resources. I highly recommend her to any true dedicated Japanese learner.

Delightful and accomodating

Shes a very nice and delightful tutor and really caters to the preferences of her students. She is also very accommodating and teaches various different aspects of Japanese Hiragana and Katakana.

Simply the best!

Yasuko is a wonderful tutor, I have learned so much from her and she has been motivating me to do my best! I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future, and I can't recommend her enough as a tutor.

Fun lesson

I love working with Yasuko! I’m getting ready for a trip to Japan with my family. She is an excellent teacher with a lot of information. I always feel like I learned a lot from our lesson.

Jennifer, 4 lessons with Yasuko

Very knowledgeable and understanding

Tailors it to your specific needs, and very flexible. (My situation is a little different than most) As a native speaker she can explain the natural way to speak versus the textbook versions.

Great Teacher

I had a great first session with Yasuko. She was very friendly and extremely helpful. She gave me lots of suggestions and many additional learning resources. I certainly am looking forward to many more future sessions with her.

Absolutely amazing to work with

Yasiko is very positive and patient. I truly enjoy learning from her. I am going to Japan in a few months and she is working with me on the basic items I will need to just get around tge country, converse as much as I fell comfortable and to just put me at ease with my language skills. I am very excited for our next lesson.

Patti, 6 lessons with Yasuko

Friendly and knowledgeable tutor

She is great at making sure students understand the content. My daughter is learning a lot and Yasuko meets her at her level. I think she’s a wonderful tutor and my 15 year old daughter is enjoying learning.

Monica , 48 lessons with Yasuko

Fun and knowledgeable!

We spent my first lesson getting to know each other and touching on hiragana a little. She introduced me to lots of recourses that have been really helpful while I practice. She is very nice and I look forward to learning with her.
