EDUCATION · AOI COLLEGE OF LANGUAGES

Here to help you study in California.

I’m Shuto Habu, a Student Advisor and Administrative Assistant at AOI College of Languages in Irvine. I’ve worked with AOI since 2022.

Having been an international student myself, I know how many questions come with studying and starting life in a new country. I help you understand the next steps, prepare for the school’s application process, and connect with the right people at AOI.

How I can help

01

School and program questions

I can help you find school information, talk through your study goals, and understand where to begin with an AOI inquiry or application.

02

F-1 admissions and documents

I help students applying from overseas and current F-1 students in the U.S. organize the documents AOI needs for admission. For I-20 or school-transfer questions, I connect you with AOI’s Designated School Official (DSO).

03

Settling into life in Irvine

From everyday school questions to finding the right person to ask, I help you get oriented. If you’re considering a homestay, I can also make an introduction to a provider.

STUDENT LIFE

Student life at AOI

Classes are one part of studying abroad. The conversations, friendships, and everyday moments are another.

PLANNING YOUR STAY

AA International homestay

A homestay is one option to explore when planning your time in California. If you’re interested, I can introduce you to AA International so you can discuss your dates, preferences, and current availability directly with their team.

Tell me a little about your plans, and I can help start the conversation.
