Hello, I'm Aya!
After graduating from university, I worked in a bank for 5 years.
In 2021, I moved to Canada to explore a different way of life.š
I also worked as a cake decorator for 3 years ā baking has always been a hobby of mine!š
I love hikingšļø, cyclingš², bakingš°, and taking ballet lessons for fun.š©°
I backpacked across many countries and love connecting with people through culture and food.š
I enjoy the little moments in life āand I want my lessons to feel the same: genuine, joyful, and without pressure.šæāØMe as a Teacher
I currently volunteer at a Japanese culture center, helping adults learn the language in a warm and friendly environment.āļøFrom my experience learning English as an adult, I know how it feels to start from zero. Thatās why I focus on making my lessons relaxed, supportive, and fun!My lessons & teaching style
Weāll start by introducing ourselves, and Iād love to hear what inspired you to learn Japanese! Letās talk about your goals, any concerns you may have, and what you're looking forward to.
Donāt worry if you're nervous ā Iāll support you every step of the way.
āBeginners
If you're just starting out, donāt worry ā Iāll guide you step by step with patience and positivity.
Weāll begin with essential grammar and simple phrases you can use in daily life.
āIntermediate and advanced
For learners who already have some basics, I offer flexible, conversation-based lessons.
Whether you're learning Japanese for fun, for travel, or for your personal growth, Iād love to join you on your journey.My teaching material
