Expert of teaching complete beginners who really want to SPEAK Japanese 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!) After teaching Japanese on italki for a year and a half, I moved to Thailand to work at a well-known Japanese language school with a strong reputation. There, I gained valuable experience teaching Japanese in a structured classroom environment. In addition to grammar instruction, I specialize in helping students learn to write Japanese scriptsーhiragana, katakana, and kanjiーwith clarity and beauty. In my lessons, I focus not just on taking classes but on helping students build practical communication skills. I structure each course to ensure students have plenty of opportunities to review and reinforce what they've learned. Many learners feel nervous about starting Japanese from scratch, especially onlineーbut I've become very comfortable guiding beginners, and I truly enjoy it! I'd love for you to try a trial lesson and see how my method works for you. *Please note that I only teach students aged 16 and above.

Atsuko Sensei is a wonderful teacher! I've taken several of her Elementary Grammar lessons, and I've found that I've improved a lot, especially since she makes sure to go over any difficult phrases or particles. We go over vocabulary, speaking sentences using the target grammar, and reading, all using as much Japanese as possible. Thank you!

Atsuko-san was very kind and patient, we tried to stick to Japanese for the whole lesson and it was very challenging and enriching. We read through a Japanese article and she clearly explained some unknown words and ideas, while writing out other useful expressions. It was a very nice and enriching hour!

Nice lesson covering new topics (counting various things, ordering a given number of things) with lots of dialogues and new sentences.

I look forward to my lessons with Atsuko-san. We have great discussions and she makes sure to clarify on grammar points so that I understand. I really like that she lets me work my way through making the sentences, and then corrects me after. I feel better being able to apply the grammar being taught and it increases my understanding and confidence.

今日から”-ても”と”ーたら”をいしょに練習しました。このレッスンは難しかったでも両文法が使ったとき私の日本語がとくいになったと思います。次のレッスンまでにこの文法が勉強しなければなりません。あつこさんありがとございました!また日曜日!

More practice with verbs, objects and moving on to already/not yet sentences. I suspect I need to practice more!
