여러분 안녕하세요. 大家 好! I’m Ayaki, a native Japanese teacher from Osaka with a passion for making language learning fun and effective. Having studied and lived abroad (China, UK), I understand the challenges of mastering new languages—and how to overcome them! I specialize in teaching both children and adults, whether you’re preparing for travel, exams, or everyday conversation. My multilingual skills help me tailor lessons to your needs. When not teaching, I recharge by baking (great for patience!), hiking (like language learning—step by step!), and exploring different cultures. Let’s achieve your goals together—楽しみましょう!Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching Japanese to school students at secondary school in England and adult learners in language school in Japan, and I am qualified to teach students at all levels.
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. I aim to make lessons enjoyable, efficient and effective. 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.My teaching material

Ayaki Sensei is the best Japanese teacher I have ever had. I truly enjoy the class and look forward to it every week. She is very patient and prepares very interesting material that fits my level, encouraging me to practice and speak more. Thank you so much!

I have been taking Ayaki-sensei's lessons for about 1,5 years. I look forward to each lesson because she is encouraging and considers what interests me. I have gained a lot of confidence in speaking Japanese, and I am constantly improving. たくさんのことを教えてくれてありがとうございました！

Ayaki sensei is very dedicated and patient. She is always well prepared for each lesson and clearly puts a lot of care into making the class helpful for me. I especially appreciate that she adjusts the lesson content based on my goals, learning pace, and what I want to work on, rather than strictly following a fixed plan.
Her teaching style makes learning feel comfortable and motivating, and I never feel stressed during class. With her guidance, I’ve been able to learn more efficiently and feel more confident over time. I feel very lucky to have met her as my teacher and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and professional instructor :-)
