My name is Dash, and I’m a professional bilingual teacher of Japanese and Chinese. I absolutely love connecting with people from all around the world, and I’m always excited to make friends across different cultures and countries.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, spending time with animals, and learning foreign languages. Right now, I’m actively learning English! 🌍✈️
So far, I’ve been lucky to visit many amazing places, including China, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Macau, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Can’t wait to learn more about you too!
Me as a Teacher
I am a certified Chinese 🇨🇳 and Japanese 🇯🇵 teacher.
I started teaching both languages professionally back in 2015, and since then, I’ve delivered over 13,000 lessons to students from all around the world—including China, Japan, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Colombia, Venezuela, and France.
I first discovered italki in 2018 while learning English myself, and by 2020, I decided to begin sharing my languages here too. Teaching is more than just a job to me—it brings real meaning to my life, and nothing makes me happier than helping others make progress.
I’m confident we’ll work well together and discover so many interesting topics to talk about!
