Hi, I am Sayaka

I am a Japanese teacher and content creator. I fell in love with teaching after acquiring a certificate from the Japanese teacher training program at Washington University of St. Louis.

I am a professional at what I do, and I love spreading happiness through the language!

My mission is to make learning fun and easy and bring smiles to students’ faces with lots of success in the language.

The greatest mistake a man can ever make is to be afraid of making one.
