About me
🟡 About Me 🌿
Hi! I’m a native Japanese speaker from Kansai , and I’ve been living in Canada for about 2 years.
I used to work as a nurse, so I truly enjoy supporting others and helping them grow.
Currently, my partner is also studying Japanese with me in English 🇺🇸
I’d love to be your friendly Japanese teacher, too! 🌸
🟡 My Teaching Style 🎓
I’ve supported Japanese learners individually, and I also have experience as a tutor for high school students in Japan.
I believe in kind, personalized lessons based on your level, goals, and learning style.
💡 You can choose lessons like:
✅ Learning hiragana & katakana slowly from scratch
✅ Practicing conversation and natural expressions
✅ Speaking-focused lessons: I will gently correct your grammar, word choice, and pronunciation during conversations, so you can sound more natural and confident
✅ Studying grammar, listening, and reading for JLPT (N5–N2)
✅ Using Minna no Nihongo or my original learning files for structured study (No textbook required!)
✅ Learning Kansai-ben (Kansai dialect) from a native
✅ Business Japanese: polite language, emails, interviews
✅ Japanese for kids: fun, interactive lessons
✨ I want you to enjoy speaking Japanese like talking with a friend, while improving naturally at the same time.
I can also give support or explanations in English when needed!

🌟 Why book a lesson with me? 🌟

Ayaka is a particularly lovely and gentle teacher. During the learning process with her, I never felt any pressure; we could chat like friends, which allowed my Japanese to improve unconsciously.
