Hello. こんにちは。My name is Yoshie, and I am originally from Shizuoka, Japan. I’ve taught middle school students in Japan and served as a manager for several years at a Japanese holding company. After moving to the United States, I met my husband and had two beautiful daughters. We moved around the country a few times before eventually settling down in Maryland (I love the blue crabs)! I love spending time with my family. We often travel to Korea and Japan over the summer to reunite with relatives.

In recent years, I have taught high school students, private classes, groups of adult students, and government students, both virtually and in person. I love interacting with people to share our culture, foods, and languages. Learning a language is not only about communication—it’s also a way to learn many other things through language itself.

Whenever you are ready or need support, I am here to help! Let’s enjoy starting a new language together!! See you soon!!
