Hi there! I’m Asami 👋✨

Born and raised in beautiful Hokkaido, I’ve been living in Australia for 19 years. I’m a fun-loving, easy-going native speaker who loves creating a relaxed space where learning Japanese feels completely natural and stress-free!

With 13 years of teaching experience (10 years at one of Melbourne's largest Japanese schools and 3 years running my own private lessons), I know exactly how to guide you—no matter your starting point.

Here is how we can work together:
✅ Beginner-Friendly & Casual Japanese
Have zero experience? No problems! We’ll start with hiragana, katakana, essential greetings, and basic everyday conversation. I break down complex grammar into simple, clear, and practical steps so you never feel overwhelmed.

✅ Travel & Conversational Japanese
Planning a trip to Japan or want to speak like a local? Learn how to order food, shop, navigate transport, and chat naturally. Plus, since I'm from Hokkaido, I can share insider travel tips and hidden gems you won't find in guidebooks! ❄️🍜

✅ VCE & JLPT Exam Preparation
Need to ace your VCE Japanese or smash the JLPT? I provide targeted guidance, structured grammar practice, kanji mastery, and focused listening/reading strategies tailored to the exam criteria to get you results.

✅ School Subject Support & Advanced Learners Welcome
I have taught students of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds. Whether you are returning to Japanese after a break or looking to polish advanced nuances, I tailor every single lesson to your unique interests and goals!

Let’s start speaking real, practical Japanese with confidence. Please send me a message first to discuss your goals and availability before booking!

Frequently Asked Questions

How easy is it to learn Japanese in Melbourne?

Learning Japanese in Melbourne is more fairly accessible!

Melbourne has a strong connection with Japan, so there are plenty of opportunities to hear, practise and enjoy Japanese through restaurants, events, cultural activities, travel and the local Japanese community.

The tricky part may be to find the experienced tutors who can help you identify the gaps in your Japanese and focus on exactly what you need to improve. Also, it might be a bit limited to have opportunities to actually use the language, especially if you live not in the center of the city.

That’s where personalised lessons can make a big difference. Whether you’re starting from zero or have been studying Japanese for years, I can help you build practical skills, speak with confidence and make steady progress towards your own goals.

Is it difficult to learn Japanese in Melbourne?

Japanese may seem difficult at first, especially because of the writing systems and grammar, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming! The key is learning step by step and understanding how Japanese works rather than trying to memorise everything at once.

There is no such a magic as "fluent in 3 months", but with the right guidance and regular practice, you can make steady progress and start using Japanese much sooner than you might expect (from the first lesson, really!). I’ll help you focus on what you actually need, explain things clearly, and build your confidence along the way—whatever your starting level or goal.
