Highly Qualified Professional Japanese Language Teacher for Children & Adults 여러분 안녕하세요. 大家 好! I’m Ayaki, a native Japanese teacher from Osaka with a passion for making language learning fun and effective. Having studied and lived abroad (China, UK), I understand the challenges of mastering new languages—and how to overcome them! When not teaching, I recharge by baking (great for patience!), playing piano, hiking (like language learning—step by step!), and I love traveling and exploring different cultures. I have experience teaching Japanese to school students in England, and adults in language schools, and I am qualified to teach students at all levels whether you’re preparing for exams, academic reasons, travel or everyday conversation. We can focus on the areas you need to improve. My role is to assist you to get to your next level, or to gain confidence in using Japanese in the real world. Let’s achieve your goals together—楽しみましょう!

Polyglot and TEFL-certified teacher with 6 years of teaching experience I teach English conversation to intermediate and advanced students, during which I make careful suggestions as to how students can improve the grammatical accuracy and idiomatic appropriateness of their spoken English. My strong understanding of Russian has enabled me to help many Russian-speakers in particular. I have heard every mistake Russians can make in English! I also have a special interest in phonetics and phonology. I have a postgraduate education in this subject, and particularly enjoy working on pronunciation. Students looking for detailed feedback on their pronunciation should feel free to contact me.

I do not teaching you, but do COACHING you as a native speaker and a language learner as well. A lot of people just study in solitude. But there's a huge gap between studying alone and actually speaking to a native speaker or somebody else. I consider myself is a friendly and patient coach (not a teacher^^), always trying to encourage learners to speak and practice more. Language is a skill, every skill is acquired through practice instead of other's TOO MUCH explanation. And now, I'm here ready to support & assist your study!

Good lessons make you forget you're studying. こんにちは! I'm Aki. I help learners become more comfortable with Japanese by using it together in a relaxed, natural way. In my lessons, we focus on expressions that people actually use. You'll hear them, use them, and gradually become familiar with them through conversation. If you're a beginner, I'll prepare simple notes to help you follow along. After conversation lessons, I'll also send you useful words and expressions from our lesson so you can review them later or add them to your own flashcards. I've taught students from many countries and backgrounds, and I've learned that everyone learns differently. Rather than following a fixed method, I adjust each lesson to suit you, your level, and what you want to achieve. My goal is simple: to help you feel more at ease using Japanese in everyday situations and enjoy the process of getting there.
