Konnichiwa! I’m a Japanese teacher who loves helping beginners speak confidently from day one. After teaching in Thailand’s top language school, I now blend my nomadic adventures (Europe, the Americas, Africa!) into fun, practical lessons. I also love learning foreign languages myself and enjoy discovering different cultures through travel and communication. Outside of teaching, you'll often find me dancing, working out, or studying something new. Let’s turn your “I can’t” into “I did it!” (P.S. ¡Puedo enseñar japonés en español también!)

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!

Atsuko was great! She helped me learn different nationalities, greetings, sentence structure, and pronunciations. Overall, I already feel much more confident in my speaking ability.

It had been 2 years since I had a lesson with Atsuko-san and she was wonderful during our lesson! We talked a lot and it was a real pleasure to take another class with her.
