About

Hello! My name is Erin Paige Hayashi.

As I kid, my family used to call me "E-Paige." This is the origin of the name of this venture, ePaige Advising.

I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa and began studying Japanese in 2001. After high school, I pursued degrees in East Asian Languages and Literature: Japanese and International Studies from the University of Iowa. In 2009 I studied abroad at Chukyo University in Nagoya, Japan. 

After graduating from the U of I in 2011, I moved to Chicago where for two years I have worked in Japanese manufacturing companies as bilingual sales support. Using this experience, I continue to instruct English to Japanese clients.

I currently live in Arlington Heights with my husband, Tetsuya.
