Hanabusa Asari

I am a Japanese teacher currently living in Japan with more than 4 years of teaching experience.

Since I was a child, I have always enjoyed talking to different people, so I decided to study English with the aim to connect to different cultures and more people. Later, I became interested in Italian culture and studied Italian language in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy.

This is when I understood the importance and the beauty of learning a foreign language. The study of the Italian language and culture simply changed who I am and how I see the world. This experience led me to become a Japanese teacher. Learning a new language means learning new values and ways of thinking. Deeping the Italian culture, actually made me appreciate more who I am and where I am coming from. After my studies in Europe I decided to return to Japan and since then I am a Japanese language teacher and a forever Japanese culture learner. It is my great pleasure to teach the Japanese language and give my students the chance to connect to a different world.

I have taught students of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Many of my students have passed the JLPT and some have gone on to study in Japan. In my lessons, I strive to maximize my students' interests and curiosity because we learn most effectively when our interests are maximized, and curiosity is a great motivator to lead our lives.

I would be very happy to accompany you on your Japanese language journey!
