10+years experience | Fun, personalised lessons for long term success

My daughter has had over 30 lessons with Ai and is keen to have many more! She really enjoys every lesson & making great progress. Ai is very professional, reliable, organised and interesting.

Ai is a great teacher and friend and I have been learning with Ai for over 5 years now. Ai customises the lessons to make sure you understand the topic and also provides homework for you to do to help complement your learning. I have a pretty busy schedule and Ai is flexible when it comes to booking in lessons. I would highly recommend Ai for anyone looking to learn Japanese - from beginner, intermediate and mastering the language!

Ai teaches my 13 year old and is an amazing tutor. Ai is very patient, plans ahead for her lessons and is very structured but easily changes course based on my daughters progress. My daughter loves her Japanese lessons and looks forward to them ever week. More importantly, she is learning the language fast which is credit to Ai. I highly recommend Ai for adults and children alike!

Ai has been an amazing tutor for me, and I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of learning Japanese. I have noticed my Japanese has improved immensely when learning with her, as she tailors each lesson to your needs and is very patient when you get stuck.

Ai has been my sensei for over 1 year now. Thanks to her lessons, I can now read and write in both Hiragana and Katakana and I'm starting to speak better Japanese. I highly recommend Ai to be your Japanese teacher.

A lovely, patient tutor who has helped me make immeasurable progress with my Japanese for an upcoming trip. In only a few months, she has helped me understand basic grammar and phrases - highly recommend!

Ai has been my Japanese tutor since late 2024. She’s incredibly kind, patient and understanding, allowing me to go at my own pace while gently challenging and pushing, and adjusting lessons to suit my abilities and accommodate migraines, work overload, and ADHD-fueled mind chaos. Her lessons are always engaging and blend reading, listening comprehension, conversation, grammar, and writing (through optional homework), yet focus on my main goal of speaking. Can’t recommend her highly enough - she’s a wonderful person and an effective tutor.

Kind, patient and supportive. Ai-sensei has helped me learn a lot about the Japanese language and culture, making every lesson very fulfilling. Highly recommend!

My daughter has studied weekly with Ai for three years and loves her lessons! Ai is so organised, keeping track of what they're working on, checking homework and knowing exactly what they'll be covering each week. Ai is great at communicating with any schedule changes, offering alternative lesson times if necessary and is always punctual. The best thing about working with Ai is how patient she was while helping build my daughter's confidence, and the progression of her Japanese language skills has been phenomenal. It is a joy to hear how much fun they have during the lessons too, they're always giggling about something! I would highly recommend Ai as a tutor ??

Ai is a very patient, flexible and accommodating tutor. As an intermediate-level learner, I have found that her exceptional command of English ensures that the subtleties and nuances associated with words and phrases encountered in Japanese are explained with great clarity.

I have been extremely fortunate to learn Japanese with Ai for five years and have had such fun. Ai is an excellent teacher. She always provides well planned, structured lessons using a wide range of learning materials tailored to my needs. She shows great empathy in offering support to overcome my difficulties and is always flexible in her approach. She is very patient and focused on my learning and enjoyment, so I feel a real sense of achievement. Her help and support for working towards a JLPT exam and preparing for a recent visit to Japan has been invaluable. I can wholeheartedly recommend learning with Ai, whatever your aspiration.

Ai is a great teacher, I really enjoy her lessons. I feel like she puts in the effort to adjust the contents to my need and interests. Highly recommend the lessons.

Ai's Japanese lessons have given me renewed enthusiasm for learning a foreign language by providing excellent tutoring that isn't taken out of a generic guide book. As such, Ai has provided multiple avenues for learning and, due to her friendly nature, made the lessons feels less so like traditional learning but more natural and enjoyable which is the main blocker for productive learning. My Japanese listening, speaking, writing, and reading skills coming from essentially nothing have reached levels I couldn't have achieved alone and for that reason I recommend Ai as the best teacher I've ever had.
