Asami
I love my language and teaching it, and I hope to help my students find the joy of learning and speaking a new language. What I like is music, underground culture, onsen, education, psychology and meditation and my dog. I enjoy also Japanese Hip hop. The lyrics are wonderful combinations of well-thought Japanese and I like their word play. I also like to travel and have been to the U.S., Uganda, Ethiopia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Hong Kong. I had lived in Thailand for 4 years and I like spicy food.

Natural Japanese & Relaxed lessons 🌿 I'll help you speak Japanese confidently! 💪 I'm not just a teacher, I'm also a fellow learner who shares knowledge and experiences with you. As a writer, I'm still learning Japanese just like you! My goal is to create a safe space where you can speak confidently! My students say I'm very patient, kind and fun :) And I always give positive feedback, so don't be afraid of making mistakes! I've also taught Pilates to many international clients in English in Tokyo, so I can support you in English. Ich lerne jeden Tag Deutsch und kann schon ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen. Wenn du Anfänger in Japanisch bist, kann ich dich unterstützen.

Be more confident in speaking than you are now! I have experience in teaching languages to a wide variety of people. I can therefore advise on how to motivate learners and their individual goals. I like new cultures and games, so I could also teach new words such as Japanese internet slang. I also have experience teaching English at an English school in Japan for beginners. I continue to learn English. Language is a living thing and constantly evolves. I believe learning a language never ends apart from the goals that you set for yourself. And as a learner, I understand how my students feel. As a native Japanese speaker, I would like to help Japanese language learners as much as possible.

厳しいタイプではないです。 Understanding a foreign language means expanding your world and increasing the number of ways you can enjoy it. Have you ever wanted to immerse yourself in a book, movie or music without subtitles? Have you ever wanted to enjoy a conversation in a foreign language without thinking of sentences in your head? I have. I am also learning a foreign language. There are many ways to learn. I am one of them.

🍣Beginner & Polite Japanese 🏝️Okinawan language 🍙Master Japanese in English 🍜University Professor 1) I've been a Japanese teacher at a college school in the US Air Force base in Japan. 2) My primary focus is to build vocabulary so students can boldly lead discussions, and speak fluently. 3) I've trained exchange students, engineers, college students, children, and so on. 4) I've also worked as a guesthouse staff and office worker in Japan, so I'm used to explaining Japanese culture and manners to tourists and expatriates :) 5) I was ever praised by my friends and students for my teaching methods. As a result, most of my friends were able to pass the JLPT-N1 and N2 test with my support and some of them are working as skilled workers in Japan.

💬 “Speak Japanese with confidence and a smile — even just 3 lessons can change your world!” Most of my students are A2–C1 learners, especially those preparing for JLPT N3 and N2. I teach every day at both a language school and a training center, so I’m used to helping learners start speaking Japanese with confidence. In my class, mistakes are not a problem — they’re proof that you’re learning. You make mistakes, you get better. That’s how language really grows. I’m also a language learner, so I understand both the frustration and the joy of studying step by step. That’s why I always update my lessons, try new ideas, and focus on what truly helps my students. My English isn’t perfect, so sometimes I’ll ask you to type what you want to say in the chat. Let’s grow together 😄
