Yuka Sooda

My name is Yuka Sooda, and I am a current student at Royal Holloway University of London. I graduated from Saint Maur International School in Yokohama, Japan, with a bilingual IB diploma in 2021. I am half Japanese and half Taiwanese, born in California, USA.

My language tutoring sessions are flexible to fit the student’s current needs; I can provide a complete starting program for beginners, or provide assistance for proficiency test and/or other materials. I can also serve as a speaking practice partner, or provide help with other forms of Japanese language studying. My classes will be a relaxed space, open to cultural questions or discussions about Japan or Japanese culture if desired. I have formed strong bonds with my past students, and still regularly contact a few of them. I am open to tutoring all ages, from small children to adults looking to pick up Japanese.

Generally, I will begin with asking details on what you would like assistance/tutoring on specifically, and a consulting session (free of charge) to discuss the approach I will take with the student. If a plan is agreed upon, then I will begin the paid tutoring sessions.

I am flexible for short term “boot camp” style tutoring, or long-term programs and/or academic assistance. I am available mostly for online tutoring, but depending on the location I am willing to commute.
