여러분 안녕하세요. 大家 好.
My name is Ayaki. I was born and grew up in Osaka, Japan. Currently, I live in England.
I like baking, reading, playing piano and walking in mountains and nature. Also, I travel a lot around Japan, but I especially love traveling to various countries overseas. I enjoy learning about other cultures and getting to know people from all over the world.
Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching Japanese to school students at secondary school in England and adult learners at language school and am qualified to teach Japanese as a second language.
I am friendly, understanding and have a passion for education. I find it most rewarding to help and guide students to achieve their goals.
I speak English and Korean. Also, I understand a little Chinese (Mandarin) as I lived and studied in China when I was student. Through my experience of learning other languages, I know how challenging it is to learn a new language. Learning should be fun and interesting. My lessons will be fun, efficient, respectful and without a lot of pressure.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons style will be varied. Tailored to your purpose whether you are learning for a hobby or for travel or academic reasons, we can focus on the areas you need to improve. My role is to assist you to get to your next level, to achieve your goals or to gain confidence in using Japanese in the real world.

I'm having the best time learning with Ayaki sensei. Although I used to be embarrassed speaking in another language, especially in the beginning stages, I have never felt this way with Japanese while learning with Ayaki sensei. She's so patient and encouraging, and her materials are personalised and thoughtful, which adds to the class experience. I look forward to my class every week and look forward to building my Japanese in 2023 :)

Ayaki sensei is an excellent teacher. Even from our first trial lesson, she was quite thorough and well-prepared. Her lessons are well-structured and she adapts them to whatever you wish to work on, whether it's a particular grammar point, studying for a future exam, or just practicing conversation. I'm usually nervous speaking in Japanese, but with Ayaki sensei I feel quite comfortable and I very much enjoy our lessons. I would 100% recommend her.

I learned today that Ayaki sensei creates all her own materials! I had always thought that they were from a textbook. They are so clear and engaging, with simple but thorough explanations of grammar and vocabulary. I looked in the two classic textbooks for beginner's Japanese and was surprised I didn't see any of the materials she used! The textbooks don't compare at all. So much effort and thought goes into every lesson and they enhance the quality so much :)

I am going to Japan for the first time in a couple of days and thanks to Ayaki sensei I feel prepared to try to use my Japanese :) Although Ayaki had prepared a lesson plan, as always, she was flexible and helped me practice some travel Japanese at the beginning of class and throughout the main lesson incorporated scenarios in which I could use my new vocabulary and grammar into my travels in Japan. I'm always so grateful for Ayaki's thoughtfulness and comprehensive guidance in class. ありがとう ございます ^^

I took a break of a couple of months from studying Japanese for personal reasons, during which time Ayaki reached out to ask how I was doing, which was really kind and thoughtful. I had my first class back today and asked if we could review what I had learned, as I felt I had forgotten a lot. Ayaki prepared a lot of materials to help refresh my Japanese, and was extremely patient, encouraging and kind. I missed studying Japanese a lot, but particularly Ayaki's classes and Ayaki herself, as she always brightens up my day with her positivity and passion for her classes. A wonderful teacher and a wonderful person with so much thought for her students :) thank you again.
