I’m from Saitama, Japan, and I currently live in Mexico. Since 2017, I have been working as a professional Japanese teacher, teaching many students at universities and language schools in Mexico.
Seeing my students achieve their dreams and goals through learning Japanese always inspires and motivates me. I would love to help people understand different cultures and strengthen global connections through language.
Let’s learn Japanese together in a fun and effective way! I look forward to seeing you in class.

Mijn creaties
Ik als leerkracht
My lessons focus on what you can actually do in Japanese, rather than just studying grammar.
I use an action-oriented approach, helping you build practical skills so you can use Japanese with confidence in real situations.
With experience teaching over 500 students, I customize each lesson to suit your level and goals.
Tell me what you want to achieve with Japanese, and we’ll work toward that goal together while enjoying the process!
✔️ Beginners are very welcome!
✔️ My lessons are great for anyone who wants to improve conversation skills, prepare for travel, or simply enjoy speaking Japanese.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
🔰 For Beginners
I use textbooks like Marugoto and Irodori, which include lots of audio and help you learn naturally. Many students have improved their speaking skills with these materials!
🗣️ Free Conversation
Enjoy relaxed speaking practice! The more you speak, the more confident and natural your Japanese will become.
🎯 Customized Lessons
・Pronunciation and polite speech
・Travel Japanese
・Fun chats about your hobbies (mystery novels, dogs, and more!)
Let’s create lessons that fit your goals and enjoy learning together!

We’ll talk about your goals and the best plan for you. I look forward to seeing you in class! 😊
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!

Ayako-sensei is a very easy person to talk to! She made me feel comfortable and I felt I could make mistakes without judgement. I really like her structured use of the Marugoto textbook while still allowing for some free talk as well. I will definitely be taking more classes with her.

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.
