Meine Kreationen
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!

the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test - Japan Educational Exchanges and Services - 2018This exam is the only official test that certifies Japanese language teaching ability including test prep. (In Japan, the only other official options are obtaining a degree or completing a 420-hour course.). The average pass rate is only 25%. It covers all the knowledge required to pass the JLPT as well. Passing this exam demonstrates that I have the ability to teach certification-level courses. My students have produced outstanding results, with some passing N1 with near-perfect scores.

Certified Bilingual Secretary - The Japan Secretaries Association 日本秘書協会 - 2018To pass this exam, candidates must take a high-level test on secretarial work, business etiquette, and an advanced English test. Passing is extremely difficult.
Japan Secretaries & Administrative Professionals Association is the only association in Japan that represents a wide range of companies, from major corporations to startups, focusing on secretaries and business professionals. It was established in 1968 with the approval of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
In today's lesson, we covered a variety of engaging topics. We started by discussing how my week went, which helped me practice conversational Japanese. We then moved on to reading a recent news article about an interesting product launch. This not only enhanced my reading skills but also provided insight into current events. Finally, we analyzed the cultural response in Japan to this event and compared it to similar events in a recent television show, deepening my understanding of Japanese culture. The lesson was both informative and enjoyable, and I recommend Ayano-san extremely highly to anyone looking to improve their Japanese!

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.

I finally had my second lesson with Ayano Sensei, and it was fantastic! I had a bit of a gap between my first and second lesson due to personal reasons, so I was a little nervous jumping back into my lessons. But Ayano Sensei did such a fantastic job making me feel comfortable. Her lessons are very engaging and interesting. There is a great balance of speaking, listening, and reading practice as well. (I am not currently looking for writing practice, so that is not included in my lessons). I really appreciate her taking the time to create lessons that are best suited for my level and my language goals. Her explanations are always clear and easy to understand; I really feel like I come away from each lesson having learned a lot! Thank you, Ayano Sensei!
