Still can't speak despite studying? That's who I teach. 😊
I'm Ayaka, a bilingual tutor from Osaka with 1,400+ lessons. I help beginners go from "where do I start?" to real conversations in Japanese.
My 3-step approach:
📚 Build — GENKI-based grammar, step-by-step
🗣️ Speak — every point goes straight into conversation
📝 Review — personalized feedback after each lesson
Why choose me:
✅ I learned English & Spanish — I know where you struggle
✅ Osaka warmth — mistakes are welcome
✅ Message support between lessons
Travel Japan, enjoy anime, or just have a conversation — I'll guide you every step.

Ik als leerkracht
I'm not just a tutor — I'm your Japanese learning coach. 😊
Through 1,400+ lessons, I've helped many beginners go from "I can't say anything" to having real conversations within months.
I use GENKI as my core textbook. Structured learning always works better than random studying. Already have GENKI or another textbook? Perfect — we'll use what you have.
I've struggled with English and Spanish myself, so I truly understand that frustration. My lessons are relaxed and go at your pace. This is a space where you can make mistakes and grow with confidence. 🌸
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
🟩 GENKI Textbook (Core)
Structured learning builds a foundation that lasts. Please purchase your own copy of GENKI before our lessons. Already using a different textbook? No problem — 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.

Miss Ayaka is very helpful in explaining words and how to apply them in conversation. I feel comfortable talking with her and she is very knowledgeable.

Ayaka was very easy to talk to. Very attentive, quick to understand what I was trying to say, and correct me when necessary.

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.
