About Aya

I’m from Japan and lived there for over 20 years. I also studied abroad in the U.S. for a year, and I previously lived and worked in Australia for a year and a half.

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!

About the lesson

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 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.
