About Aya
I’m from Japan and have lived there for over 20 years. I also studied abroad in the U.S. for a year, and I’m now living and working in Australia.
I love helping people learn Japanese, especially those who are interested in anime, Japanese culture, daily life, and fun conversations!
Whether you want to understand your favorite anime without subtitles, talk about Japanese food and traditions, or just enjoy speaking naturally in Japanese, I’m here to help!
I’ve studied English since I was a kid, so I totally understand the challenges of learning a new language. Feel free to ask me anything in English or Japanese, whichever feels easier!
In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, singing, running, and spending time in nature. I also love chatting about anime and all things Japanese pop culture!
Let’s have fun learning Japanese together, at your own pace, and in your own style. See you in class!

Reviews
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Aya.
Perfect! Aya tailors the lessons to focus on the conversations and contexts that I want to participate in. She uses an online google sheet that we share to conduct lessons on. It includes things for the current lesson as well as recommendations for homework. It's a great technique and has inbuilt accountability.

I’ve known Ayaka since we worked together at our previous company, where she was a top performer in the global sales team. She’s fluent in both Japanese and English, and has excellent communication skills that help her connect with anyone instantly. Ayaka is friendly, reliable, and knows how to make people feel at ease — I’m sure she’ll be a great teacher for anyone learning Japanese!
Ayaka is super patient. Even when I couldn’t find the right word to say, she is always supportive. Since we are of a similar age, our conversations flow effortlessly. So glad to have met Ayaka!!
I worked with Aya for 2 years in Tokyo, and what impressed me was her ability to communicate equally well in both English and Japanese. She is warm, friendly, and can always create a space that allows anyone to feel comfortable to talk to her about any topics.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Japanese skills!Aya is not only great at teaching, she makes you feel so comfortable chatting with her! She helps people grow in skill and confidence. She also has lots of cross-cultural experience and can understand different ways of thinking, which I think is a really valuable skill for a teacher.
If you're looking for a kind and patient Japanese tutor, I highly recommend Ayaka! She has helped me so much with my Japanese, always explaining things clearly and encouraging me to speak with confidence. Her lessons are tailored to your level and goals, whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve fluency. Plus, she makes learning fun and approachable! If you’re interested, definitely reach out—she’s a fantastic teacher!
Great teacher! She made every lesson super fun and easy to follow. Lovely classes. Thank you Aya.
