🇯🇵 Learn Natural Japanese with a Kind & Patient Kyoto-born Teacher🌸 Hello! I'm Aya 🌟 I was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan, and I currently live in New York. I have also lived in Hong Kong, so I understand the challenges of learning a new language and adapting to a new culture. I worked at a university in Japan for 8 years, communicating with students and their families every day. I supported them by explaining things clearly and providing guidance based on their needs. I have qualifications as a kindergarten teacher, elementary school teacher, and childcare worker. I love teaching and helping people learn. I am also studying English myself. After moving abroad, I experienced times when I couldn't express what I wanted to say or felt embarrassed about mistakes. Because of this, I understand the feelings of Japanese learners. In my lessons, I create a relaxed environment where you can speak without worrying about mistakes. Beginners are welcome! I can use simple English when needed. For intermediate and advanced learners, we can practice: ・Natural Japanese expressions ・Conversation skills ・Japanese culture and manners ・Travel Japanese As I am from Kyoto, I also speak Kansai dialect. If you are interested in Kansai-ben or Kyoto-style expressions, please let me know! I enjoy traveling, reading, movies, manga, and anime. I have traveled to 17 countries and love listening to your cultural experiences. I hope my lessons feel like chatting with a Japanese friend while working toward your goals. I look forward to meeting you😊!

Meaningful Japanese Conversations|Discover Japan, Share Your Culture, Speak Naturally Hello, my name is Kuriko. I love learning how people live, think, and see the world through conversation. In my lessons, we don't just study Japanese—we exchange ideas, compare our cultures, and enjoy meaningful conversations together. Every conversation is a chance to discover something new—about Japan, your country, and even yourself. I naturally guide our conversations from simple topics to deeper discussions, so you'll find yourself expressing ideas you never thought you could say in Japanese. My goal is for you to leave each lesson thinking, "I spoke a lot today!" "I could express difficult ideas in Japanese!" If you… ✓ enjoy meaningful conversations ✓ want natural Japanese ✓ love learning about cultures ✓ want to express your ideas with confidence I would love to meet you. ”Don't just learn Japanese—talk about the world in Japanese.” I want every lesson to give you the confidence and satisfaction of realizing just how much you can communicate in Japanese. 私のレッスンでは、日本語を話すことを通して、お互いの文化や考え方を知り、会話を楽しみます。 日本とあなたの国の文化を比べたり、お互いの価値観について話したり、日常生活やニュース、旅行、食べ物など、さまざまなテーマについて自然な日本語で会話を楽しみます。 だからレッスンでは、一方的に教えるのではなく、お互いの文化や考え方を共有しながら、一緒に会話を広げていきます。 毎週のレッスンが、「勉強」ではなく、「楽しみな時間」になるような会話を、一緒に作っていけたら嬉しいです。
