Still can't speak despite studying? That's who I teach. 😊
I'm Ayaka, a bilingual tutor from Osaka with 1,600+ lessons. I help beginners go from "where do I start?" to real conversations in Japanese — and I can help you too.
My 3-step approach:
📚 Build — GENKI-based grammar, step-by-step, so nothing feels random
🗣️ Speak — every grammar point goes straight into real conversation practice
📝 Review — personalized feedback notes after each lesson so you never forget
Why choose me:
✅ I learned English & Spanish myself — I truly understand where beginners struggle
✅ A safe space to make mistakes — because that's exactly how you grow
✅ Original teaching materials used live every lesson
✅ Message support between lessons — stuck on a phrase? Just ask!
I use GENKI as my core textbook — structured learning always works better than random studying. Don't have GENKI yet? No problem — I'll guide you on which volume to get! Already using a different textbook? I can adapt to what you have.
🟦 From Study to Speaking — Immediately
Every grammar point goes straight into real conversation practice, turning passive knowledge into active, usable Japanese.
🎯 Fully Tailored to You
Total beginner or returning learner — I adjust the pace and content to fit your goals. Whether you want to travel Japan, enjoy anime, pass JLPT, or simply hold a conversation, I'll guide you every step.

Ayaka-San always listens and provides valuable feedback during and after the lesson. She lets me talk, while not interrupting too often, but she still corrects mistakes from time to time. I feel like i can make mistakes and improve thanks to Ayaka-sans efforts.

What a great lesson with Ayaka-san. I absolutely recommend signing up for these lessons. She is simply the best, and speaking with a native Japanese speaker is an absolute game-changer. Do yourself a favor and start your Japanese lessons with Ayaka-san.

I really appreciated how comfortable and flexible the teacher was with the wide range of topics I brought into conversation, including food, global travel destinations, and Japanese work culture. The lessons felt natural and engaging, and I never felt restricted to a fixed script or textbook discussion.
What I valued most was that I genuinely felt my Japanese ability improve through these conversations. The relaxed atmosphere made it much easier to speak more freely and confidently in Japanese.
