Hi! I'm Ayaka. Nice to meet you.
I like to sing songs, playing sanshin (an Okinawan instrument) and playing with animals!
I majored in international relations in university and have experience studying abroad in America and Hong Kong. I worked for a Japanese company for a few years before I started my career as a Japanese language teacher.
I'm excited to talk with people all over the world with italki!
【Note】From November 2025, my lesson slots might become more limited, or I may need to take a long break from teaching on italki, as I'll be focusing on childcare.
はじめまして、あやかです。
歌を歌うこと、三線を弾くこと、動物と遊ぶことが大好きです。
大学では国際関係学の勉強をして、アメリカと香港で留学をしたことがあります。日本の会社で働いたこともあります。italkiでみなさんと繋がれることにワクワクしています!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I think when you study a language, it is important to enjoy and not to give up on it.
I'll do my best to support you so that you can feel relaxed while enjoy learning, and achieve your goal.
I'll not only teach Japanese language but also help figure out how to study effectively and keep your motivation high.
語学は「楽しむこと」と「続けること」が大切だと思っています。
生徒さんが目標達成のために、楽しく勉強を続けられるように、一生懸命サポートしていきます。
日本語を教えることはもちろんですが、勉強方法やモチベーションについても相談できるような、生徒さんに近い存在になりたいと思っています。
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I like to structure my lessons around my students goals, whether you want to focus more on conversation or more on grammar and reading.
I'll give you lots of chances practicing actual conversation using useful grammar and vocabulary!

Ayaka-san is the best Nihongo no sensei ever! Her lesson plans are always so engaging and thoughtful. She is also very kind and patient. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Japanese whether you are starting from scratch or wanting to strengthen your existing skills!
