My japanese lessons
I offer lessons tailored to each student’s individual needs, including grammar and conversation. As a general approach, I use Minna no Nihongo for grammar study at all levels, but instead of always relying on textbooks, I also engage in conversations on seasonal topics in Japan and other subjects to keep lessons entertaining.
Feel free to contact me to determine your level.

Travel assistance to Japan
Born and raised in Kyoto, I have guided many friends from both Japan and abroad as a hobby.
I love history, temples, shrines, and delicious food. That’s why, even now, living in Europe, I continue to research information about Kyoto every day.
I can offer you travel itineraries in Japan, activities, and hidden spots, especially around Kyoto and the Kansai region.
The goal is to provide you with a personalized program based on my knowledge of the best places to visit and the best food to enjoy, so you can have the most peaceful and unforgettable experience possible.

Testimonial
My experience with Aoi Sensei has been awesome. I started 1 year ago with Aoi. Each lesson is engaging and fun, and she helps me a lot to learn and she takes her time to answer all my questions about Japanese language. I‘m very grateful that I found her as a teacher.
Each lesson is adapted to me and very funny. Also I learn a little bit more about Japanese culture, it’s very interesting. She is very kind and awesome. I would highly recommend this teacher.

Aoi is an incredible teacher. She has perfectly adapted to my profile and expectations. I have been studying Japanese for ten years, but I lacked speaking practice. I reached out to Aoi after moving to Japan, and thanks to her, I am making great progress. She divides our lessons between conversation and grammar, using practical examples inspired by my daily life here, all in a cheerful and highly supportive environment. The best way to build self-confidence! Thank you, Aoi!

Aoi has been an excellent teacher. I took group lessons and then private lessons, and she always adapted to my level. I learned a lot with her.
Thank you again!
