Hi, my name is Ayano. I’m a certified Japanese teacher and a top 1% Japanese teacher on italki. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I lived in Hawaii before.
[My previous job & specialties]
- I worked as a secretary to a board member of a famous game company. So, I’m good at teaching both real business Japanese and casual Japanese for otaku!
- I was a maid in Akiba ("Okaerinasaimase, goshujinsama!" ) & Hooters girl too:)
[My other job]
- I also worked as a professional model and a writer at an popular online news site.
- I do VTuber too.
- I was a promotional model at the Tokyo Game Show & the Tokyo Motor Show etc.
[Tourist Information Center]
- I also worked as a receptionist in Akihabara!

Ich als Lehrkraft
I teach real, natural and practical Japanese in very effective ways. I don't use unnatural Japanese such as 私の名前は (watashino namae wa) ! So you will be able to speak like native speakers! If you need to use English in our lesson, we can do so. No worries! However, let's use Japanese as much as possible for your learning, of course.
Feel free to ask me other requests and questions!

I have a meeting with my partner's Japanese clients next week, and Ayano has been incredible at helping me prepare.
This has so far included:
- Going through a list of nitpicky questions I sent her on language, actions, and etiquette, methodically answering each one with text, images, and even doodles!
- Bringing her own list of typical Japanese business dinner small talk topics to see how prepared I was to answer them (answer: not at all)
- Making time in class to walk me through structuring a letter to them, after I'd struggled to write it on my own
- Sending me links to resources on topics relevant to these clients
- Making herself available to answer questions at any time, even outside classes
This is on top of our usual conversation practise at the start of each class, which has been as valuable as always.
Ayano has introduced me to so many potential opportunities (and pitfalls!) for this visit, I don't know what I would have done without her. Truly above and beyond.

More 'nai-form' practice, but this time with irregular verbs added in. Ayano sensei has made this lesson very relevant by creating a real world scenario in a maid cafe where you must ask if you can do something, or if you're being asked to not do something. I'm still a little slow at this, so I will review the material before the next lesson. Ayano sensei's lessons are always fun!

Ayano is always well prepared with topics, vocabulary and exercises. She puts a lot of care and effort into her lessons, and it shows. She also presented me with a lesson plan for upcoming weeks today, and it is great to know that she's got everything planned out so well in advance.

In today's Japanese lesson with Ayano-san, we delved into the FX show 'Shogun' which I had marathoned this week. It was fascinating to discuss the various Japanese and American perspectives on the show, including the cast and the writing. We also studied articles that provided diverse opinions about the show. I found that incorporating engaging topics like this into language learning greatly enhances the experience. It was an enjoyable and informative session, and I love how Ayano-san's fully customized lessons are perfectly tailored to my needs and level.

あやの先生は細やかな先生。That is why she is the best Japanese language teacher, in my opinion.
