🌿 For Beginners Who Truly Want to SPEAK Japanese | Japan-based🍁Formerly Canada| English support! Konnichiwa, my name is Aya! ✨ I’m a Japanese language tutor who truly enjoys supporting and encouraging people on their Japanese language journey. If you truly want to speak Japanese with confidence, I offer practical, supportive lessons focused on real-life communication. I lived in Canada for six years, and as an adult English learner myself, I understand how challenging it can be to learn a new language and speak when you’re not confident yet. In my lessons, you can ask questions, make mistakes, and express yourself without worrying about being perfect. I’ll support you at your own pace and help you build confidence. For intermediate learners and above, I also offer a 「News & Culture Discussion」course to practice natural conversation while exploring Japanese news, culture, and everyday topics. I love traveling, nature, baking, and connecting with people from different cultures. I’ve also backpacked through many countries! If you’re nervous about speaking Japanese, don’t worry. You don’t have to be perfect from the beginning. Let’s work together toward those moments when you can think, “I can actually communicate in Japanese!”🌿 I'm looking forward to meeting you in our first lesson! 🌸

Aya-sensei was so kind to shift the course material to a topic of my choice and now we're practicing situations that will be soon very helpful. She creates a good and fun environment and gives the necessary context as to why, when and how certain things are expressed in japanese. I'm looking forward to more lessons!

Aya is so fantastic!! I took her Travel Japanese classes, too close to my travel date because I was picky, and I picked her, and it was so worth it! She showed example conversations that I'd need, and I was soo confident, until she went 'let's practice', and oooof, speaking out loud is difficult, but she's patient, smiley, you don't feel dumb even though all the words are in front of you - comfortable and challenging! You'll be so happy you chose her, do it!!!

Aya is such an amazing tutor! She is very patient and makes sure to help me when I am struggling with certain words or phrases in a kind and helpful way. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Japanese and am looking forward to our future sessions!
