Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
GENKI Textbook (Core): We use "GENKI" to build a solid foundation. It explains grammar in English, making it perfect for beginners. Don’t have it? No problem! I have other materials we can use too.
From Study to Speaking: We don’t just memorize rules. We immediately use new grammar in real conversations so it actually sticks.
Tailored for You: Whether you’re a total beginner or advanced, I adjust the pace to fit YOU. I use the same efficient methods that helped me master English.
24/7 Support: Stuck on a phrase after class? Message me anytime! I offer 24-hour Q&A support for all my students.

Ayaka-san’s lessons are always patient, clear, and encouraging, and she makes the process feel enjoyable instead of stressful. Thanks to her, I feel more confident and excited about using Japanese during my trips!

At the beginning of the lesson, I clearly had trouble with conjugation and te form, but at the end of the lesson, I was able to conjugate so much better and make sentences from my own thoughts! Amazing what an awesome teacher can do!

Ayaka Sensei is excellent; she is very patient and helpful. No judgments, just help and encouragement. I would highly recommend Ayaka Sensei for any help you need along your Japanese language learning journey.

It is a pleasure learning Japanese with Ayaka-sensei, and I can honestly say she’s one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Her lessons are always well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my level and goals. She creates a very supportive and encouraging environment where I feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions.

Another great lesson with Ayaka Sensei. I should have done this sooner, and I couldn't be more appreciative.

Ayaka-san, we had a great first class today. We touched a dozen of topics after our introductions. The class was engaging and productive. Thank you!
