northern born
Firstly, if you're wondering how to pronounce my name, don't worry it's difficult. Ah-yah-ay.
It kinda sounds like why-aye (man), if you're a Geordie.
I was born in the small town of Mashike on Japan's northernmost island Hokkaido. It's very cold there and in winter it snows constantly. After being encouraged by my parents, I began to study English and eventually became a qualified teacher specialising in English. I met my husband in Japan and after living there for many years we made the decision to move to the UK. Several years later we welcomed our son to join us!
I've been teaching Japanese privately for some time now and have many regular students. Some have goals to pass exams such as GCSE Japanese or JLPT tests, some want to visit or live in Japan, others just love the culture and want to learn more of the language. Recently we've expanded to keep up with demand for Japanese lessons so please feel free to make an enquiry with us!
