Hello! I'm Ami, originally from Yokohama. I’d been working as a speech-language-hearing therapist for 10 years, supporting communication. Since 2016, I've been teaching Japanese as a Japanese language teacher to a multinational students (ages 13-60) in UK, Ireland and NZ. I studied linguistics and am currently learning Italian! I value learning through different cultures, travel, and local cuisine. I specialize in lessons that focus on "corrrrect pronunciation" and "natural conversation".

Ami-sensei has been a great teacher for me. Language learning definitely does not come naturally for me, but in our lessons I never feel stupid and I feel like I'm making steady progress and actually retaining the things I learn.
