    About me

    The fastest way to improve your conversation skills is to make a native friend 🤝🎶

    Why don’t we become friends with me and practice Japanese together? 😆🙌


    📚 No textbook purchase is required!

    In my lessons, we use Genki I (N5) and Genki II (N4) along with my original materials, all shared on screen 👩‍💻♪


    Genki is a great textbook because:

    • Grammar explanations are written in English

    • It includes many role-play activities


    This allows you to understand grammar and start speaking immediately 🗣️💭


    As a result, you will:

    ✔ Clearly understand grammar

    ✔ Remember what you learn more easily

    ✔ Gradually increase the Japanese you can actually use


    I also help you rephrase textbook Japanese into natural, real-life Japanese, so you won’t sound stiff or unnatural.

    This lesson style is perfect for learners who want to build a strong grammar foundation while practicing conversation ☺️



    🌟 Conversation-focused original activities


    In the last 10 minutes of each 50-minute lesson, we focus on fun, conversation-based activities that I create myself 🗣️🗣️🗣️


    Examples include:

    • Role-playing a ramen restaurant visit 🍜

    • A game where you guess whether my daily stories are true or false 🤔

    • Conversations about Japanese culture and traditional events 🇯🇵


    Many students tell me:

    “I didn’t even feel like I was studying, but I talked so much!”



    ✈️ Lessons inspired by my love of travel


    Using photos I’ve taken during my travels, we do quizzes and mini cultural activities 📸🌏


    Many students say it feels like traveling together while learning Japanese, which makes lessons even more enjoyable ✨


    If you’re planning a trip to Japan, we also practice useful travel phrases through situational role-play, such as:

    ✔ Hotels

    ✔ Restaurants

    ✔ Tourist spots


    These activities are carefully designed to help you enjoy your trip to Japan even more 🇯🇵🗻



    🌸 Lesson atmosphere


    • Beginners are very welcome

    • Making mistakes is totally okay

    • A relaxed and friendly environment


    ※ At the moment, I mainly offer lessons for adults

    (children’s lessons are currently in preparation)


    For a better learning experience, I’ve upgraded my:

    💻 Computer

    🌐 Internet connection


    If you want to speak natural Japanese and communicate with Japanese people without feeling a language barrier, I’d love for you to try a lesson 🎉



    🩵 About Me 🐰


    Nice to meet you! My name is Aoi.

    I love traveling and have visited many countries ✈️🌏

    My favorite part of traveling is interacting with local people.


    My English level is B2, and I’ve experienced the joy of truly connecting with others through language many times 🗣️✨

    That’s why I can deeply understand how language learners feel.



    🩵My Strengths💪

    ✅ I always think about “how can I make this easier to understand?” and prepare thoroughly for each lesson.

    🩵Recommended For🎯

    ✅ Those who want to learn Japanese from scratch → I’ll support you step by step.

    ✅ Those who want smooth conversations during trips to Japan → Practice practical phrases.

    ✅ Those who want to enjoy anime and dramas more → Understand them without subtitles.

    ✅ Those who want a friendly and fun learning environment → Let’s study and laugh together!


    In the trial lesson, we’ll first check your level through conversation and find the best learning method for you.

    If you like, I can also provide writing practice worksheets📃.


    🩵Finally🫧

    I love Japan and started teaching Japanese because I want to share its beauty with people around the world 🇯🇵

    Japan is full of incredible attractions—its culture, food, and four seasons are things that simply can’t be described in just a few words 🌸


    I carefully tailor each lesson to match your goals and level.

    I’ll do my best to support you so your time in Japan becomes even more meaningful.

      あおい先生 is great. She’s attentive every lesson, the entire time. Her energy is warm and genuine. Never forced. She keeps things fun and conversational, and corrects grammar at a pace that’s comfortable and keeps the conversation flowing. I’ve been studying with her for several months and look forward to years to come. ありがとうございます、あおい先生。 あおい先生は最高です。毎回のレッスンで、ずっと集中して聞いてくれます。先生の明るさは温かくて本物。無理がない。会話を楽しく進めながら、自然な流れを止めずに文法も直してくれます。もう何ヶ月も一緒に勉強していて、これからも何年も続けたいです。ありがとうございます、あおい先生。
