About Me
italki teacher since Dec 16, 2015InterestsSports & FitnessTravelMusicFoodScience
After I lived in Bangkok, Thailand for three and half years, I started my nomadic life, traveling mainly in Europe and America. I speak Japanese, English, Spanish and French. (Puedo enseñar japonés en español también.) I love to study foreign languages!! I also like traveling, dancing, and workout. Let's study together, and laugh a lot together!!!Me as a Teacher
After I taught Japanese on Skype for one and half years, I moved to Thailand to teach at a Japanese language school. I gained experience of teaching Japanese at the school which is famous and has a good reputation. Not only teaching the grammar, I'm good at teaching how to write Japanese letters (hiragana, katakana and kanji) beautifully.My lessons & teaching style
The most important thing of language lesson is not taking lessons but acquiring practical skills, so I proceed the course so that my students can review enough.
It seems that many people are afraid of starting to learn Japanese online from scratch, but actually I got quite used to teaching for such students, and I really love that! Feel free to take my trial lesson and experience my method!!My teaching material

I was very nervous but Atsuko-sensei was very kind and helpful. I am beginning from scratch and she really took her time to explain things to me in detail. She did everything in her teaching style, she presented material, explained, guided, asked questions, and encouraged me. I will continue to work with her and I highly recommend everyone else do so as well.

Had another good lesson with Atsuko-sensei.
She's very patient, and skilful at matching her Japanese to my level, so I can enjoy hearing about what she's been up to and learn a bit about Japanese culture.
The materials for the "Elementary Grammar & Conversation" course are very good too, especially in conjunction with the book.

My fiancé and I felt very engaged in Atsuko's first lesson! It was great to jump right into describing people's nationalities and occupations, and learning about negation, pronunciation, and compound sentences!

I really liked all of our lessons!! It was very nice learning new handy vocabulary that I never used to know with Atsuko-sensei. I guess I'll keep booking those amazing lessons🙏💕
