Hi, my name is Masami. I was born and raised in Japan. In my twenties I moved to Europe and lived in Austria, UK and the Netherlands for more than 20 years. After having lived in China for 3 years, I am back again in the Netherlands since August 2022. My hobbies include Japanese Tea Ceremony (Kimono, Calligraphy, Flower arrangement, Zen teachings etc), Classical Music (playing Oboe, Sax and Piano), Travelling (visited many countries in my life), cooking, reading and writing etc. I am also interested in the Environmental issues. I am vegan myself and trying to live as sustainably as possible. Most of all, I love people and enjoy listening to people's stories. I'd love to listen to you too!

Enjoying the high-quality lessons! Very good for learning Japanese but also for learning about the culture (and the cultural differences with Western countries).

I had my first lesson (after the trail lesson) as a complete beginner in Japanese. Masami explains everything clearly and makes the learning process enjoyable and motivating. Her positive attitude and encouragement really made me feel confident during the lesson. I'm looking forward to continuing my Japanese language journey.

Masami is a delght to have as a teacher. She's down to earth, comfortable, and most importantly knowledgeable. She knows her stuff. Two thumbs up.

Voor de Nederlanders onder ons die graag Japans willen leren maar geen adequate Japanse lessen in hun stad of dorp hebben, is Masami echt fantastisch. Ze kan heel goed Nederlands waardoor het een stuk makkelijker is om op te pikken. Daarnaast kan ze het ook heel goed uitleggen en kan ze tussendoor ook vragen beantwoorden over de Japanse cultuur. Ze heeft mij heel goed voorbereid voor mijn reis naar Japan. Echt een aanrader om lessen bij te volgen!

Masami knows how to teach well. She is easy to talk with, and of course I'd recommend lessons with her. 3 thumbs up.
