Learn Japanese with culture, confidence, and connection. Hi! I'm Ayako, a Japanese teacher from Saitama, Japan — currently living in Mexico. 🌎 A unique perspective from living abroad Having lived in both Australia and Mexico, I've developed a deep understanding of how culture shapes communication. I don't just teach the language — I help you understand why Japanese people communicate the way they do. If you're curious about cultural differences between Japan and other countries, that's something we can explore together too! 🎯 Real Japanese for real communication My lessons follow an action-oriented approach — real skills you can use from day one. You don't need to figure out what to study — just tell me where you want to go, and I'll build the path. 👩‍🏫 Experience you can trust Teaching since 2017 · Universities, language schools & online · 500+ students · Lived in Australia & Mexico 🌏 🔰 For Beginners I use Marugoto and Irodori — communicative textbooks with rich audio — so you build natural speaking habits from the very start. 🗣️ Free Conversation Relaxed, confidence-building practice at your own pace. 🎯 Customized Lessons Pronunciation · Natural expressions · Polite & casual speech · Travel Japanese · Fun topics (mystery novels, movies, and more!) 💡 Ready to start? Book a trial lesson! We'll talk about your goals and build the perfect plan — together. 😊

Ayako-san is incredibly patient and always encourages me to keep going, even when things feel challenging. Thanks to her thoughtful teaching style, I feel like I’ve made real progress with my Japanese. She’s not only a great teacher but also a truly wonderful person. I highly recommend her lessons!

We've been learning with Ayako for more than a year now and we can really see the progress. Today, Ayako had prepared materials especially for our weaknesses, which was very helpful. Her materials are great and she's very patient with our questions.

This was my 100th lesson with Ayako-san! I started almost from scratch, and now I can understand and say so many things. Of course, my vocabulary is still limited, but I can actually communicate with Japanese people. That was my goal, and slowly achieving it brings me so much joy. I still cannot believe I have come this far in my Japanese learning journey, especially since I study it as a hobby and don’t have the chance to use it daily. I think this was possible thanks to Ayako-san’s calm and fun approach. My lessons became a relaxing part of my evenings rather than feeling like the effort of studying a subject, and this really helped me keep going. Thank you so much Ayako-san. またね!

I'm always having fun learning Japanese with Ayako-san, even now that we reached a point where the grammar is getting harder. Looking forward to our next lesson!
