Ayaki

I'm having the best time learning with Ayaki sensei. Although I used to be embarrassed speaking in another language, especially in the beginning stages, I have never felt this way with Japanese while learning with Ayaki sensei. She's so patient and encouraging, and her materials are personalised and thoughtful, which adds to the class experience. I look forward to my class every week and look forward to building my Japanese in 2023 :)

Ayaki sensei is an excellent teacher. Even from our first trial lesson, she was quite thorough and well-prepared. Her lessons are well-structured and she adapts them to whatever you wish to work on, whether it's a particular grammar point, studying for a future exam, or just practicing conversation. I'm usually nervous speaking in Japanese, but with Ayaki sensei I feel quite comfortable and I very much enjoy our lessons. I would 100% recommend her.

Ayaki 先生 is the best! I have learned so much in the lessons I’ve had with her. I definitely look forward to our lessons every week!

I took a break of a couple of months from studying Japanese for personal reasons, during which time Ayaki reached out to ask how I was doing, which was really kind and thoughtful. I had my first class back today and asked if we could review what I had learned, as I felt I had forgotten a lot. Ayaki prepared a lot of materials to help refresh my Japanese, and was extremely patient, encouraging and kind. I missed studying Japanese a lot, but particularly Ayaki's classes and Ayaki herself, as she always brightens up my day with her positivity and passion for her classes. A wonderful teacher and a wonderful person with so much thought for her students :) thank you again.

Love taking lessons with Ayaki sensei! She is so kind and easy to talk to!

Ayaki sensei was very helpful. I only had a trial lesson but she made me feel very comfortable even though I was nervous about speaking. I'm planning to book more classes in the future!
