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 in total. 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), reading and writing etc.
I am also interested in the Environmental issues. I am vegan myself and trying to live sustainably as possible.
Most of all, I love people and enjoy listening to people. I would love to listen to you too!Ik als leerkracht
I have experience in teaching Japanese for more than 20 years, having started in Japan, then in Austria, UK, the Netherlands and in China. I have taught from small children to adults, in various institutes from language schools to High schools.
I can explain the logic of grammars in a simple way so that you can understand it well.
Moreover, I love communicating with people and love to see my students improve with their language skills as to talk more about themselves to me.
I myself also love learning languages. I speak English and Dutch fluently. German, Chinese, Spanish and French are on the way. Thus, I don't forget the beginner's mind. Language is the tool of communication!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
If you already following a textbook, I would try to teach you using the book you have. I have taught with various kinds of textbooks, and I can adopt easily.
If you don't have textbook yet, but would like one, I can recommend one to you after assessing your target, learning style and requirements.
If you would rather not use textbook, I can give you important grammar points at every lesson as to practice with you. I make my own materials and was involved in developing exercise books which were published.
Please let me know what you need. I am flexible and resourceful. I will cater the lesson to your needs.Mijn lesmateriaal

I had a good introductory lesson with Masami-san. I explained my circumstances regarding my language skills, and she was able to give proper feedback on my speaking and listening. Besides, she speaks Dutch as well and knows about Dutch culture, so she can guide me better in being considerate towards Japanese people, as our cultures are sometimes diametrically opposed to each other in directness and bluntness.

Masami san was very nice and supportive of me! I learned so much just in the first lesson and she was such a kind teacher ☺️! I will definitely be taking more lessons.

Masami is amazing. We've been doing conversations for a number of months now and she is very good about sticking to Japanese and encouraging me to use Japanese even when I'm struggling with it. For example if I give up and tell her what I want to say in English, she'll write it and say it in Japanese, then repeat it slowly, and encourage me to say it, too.
I'm not sure if others experience this but my level of Japanese seems to fluctuate depending on the day. Some days it just spills out of me and others I can't think of even basic words or grammatical structures, but no matter where my head is, Masami will match it and make sure the conversation flows and that I'm learning.
As a person she is also very cool! We share a lot of interests and she also has unique hobbies and knows about so many things. I'm really happy I found her and always look forward to our conversations!
