Hi, I’m 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.

An Overview of NihongoDekita
I launched NihongoDekita in May 2020 because I wanted to change the impression of learning Japanese from “difficult” to “fun”. So, while offering one-on-one private lessons online, I started to share Japanese learning content on Instagram, Tiktok, and YouTube and now the total number of followers is over 1,000,000!
NihongoDekita is known for its entertaining and fun learning content online. In September 2021, the Vibely community was launched with the aim of providing a place to practice Japanese proactively for Japanese learners. After receiving a lot of requests, In December 2021, I launched my first online Japanese course!

What Students Say

I really enjoy every lesson I have
All the feedback is super helpful and I always feel like I have enough support when I am confused on anything. The homework assigned is also very helpful and always helps me to improve on what I need to do.
