🌻Hello 🌻 こんにちは 🌻 Hola 🌻  你好🌻 Bonjour🌻 

My name is Jasmine. 

I have been teaching on Outschool since 2020, and it has been an amazing journey.   I have mainly offered Japanese language courses on Outschool, but am excited to now be offering ESL to English language learners all over the world.   

I lived in Japan for over sixteen years teaching English and studying Japanese.  I raised my oldest son in Japan until he was ten, and my daughters also spent two years in Tokyo in Japanese elementary school.   Not only do I have the experience of learning Japanese as a non-native speaker, but I have also supported my children on their journey of learning English and Japanese as second language learners.  

As a life-long learner of Japanese, it gives me so much joy to pass on my passion for language and culture to my students.  I am an enthusiastic educator who seeks to get to know the individuals interests of my students and their and learning needs.  Being flexible and having fun while also promoting a high standard of learning are some of my greatest strengths.   

Please send me a message if you are interested in the different classes I have to offer and how I can support your student.   If you don't see a time that works for your student, let me know and I will do my best to find a time that will work.  I will also send you specific information related to my Japanese for Kidz or English with Jasmine classes.　　

Looking forward to hearing from you.
