MASAMI

I am a native Japanese speaker, certified and experienced in teaching Japanese. Originally from Kobe, Japan, I’ve been living in London for nearly 20 years. With over 10 years of work experience in both Japan and the UK, I bring a rich cultural perspective to my lessons.

I have delivered more than 2,600 lessons with more than 100 students, online and one-to-one. As a fluent English speaker, I can explain Japanese grammar and culture clearly, which I believe is essential for truly understanding the language. My lessons go beyond textbooks, offering insights into Japanese that you won't easily find elsewhere.

I’m an easy-going and friendly person who creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere in lessons. No need to feel nervous—I’m here to help you enjoy learning Japanese!

I’m also passionate about rock music and manga, and people often say I’m quite knowledgeable. If you’re interested, we can chat about a wide range of topics in our lessons. Let’s learn and have fun together!
