    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? 🌟


    Learning Japanese doesn’t have to be stressful—I’ll help you feel relaxed and confident from the very beginning.

    With my friendly and supportive style, you can enjoy lessons like chatting with a friend, while still making steady progress.

    Whether you’re aiming for JLPT, want to improve speaking, or simply love Japanese culture, I’ll create a lesson just for you.

      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.
