Ayana あやな

If you are maybe a bit like me and feeling anxious about talking to someone you don't know in a language you can't really speak, I can wholly recommend taking a lesson with Ayana-Sensei. From the get go she was very warm, welcoming and easy to talk to. Lessons are an interesting dialogue where I learn not only about the Japanese language, but also culture and customs. Likewise, Ayana-Sensei seems to take a sincere interest in the dialogue and it feels less like a traditional lesson and more like an enjoyable chat. Should a point be unclear in Japanese, Ayana-Sensei's excellent English can help out. While this is my first experience with a language tutor, I am more than happy, and can recommend trying a lesson with Ayana-Sensei to everyone, especially if you're feeling shy and anxious about it.

Ayana's sense of humor has made the classes enjoyable for my daughter. When learning a new language, it is essential to have a fun and engaging atmosphere that encourages students to stay motivated and interested in their studies. My daughter loves her Japanese class. Ayana is not only a knowledgeable teacher but also has a natural affinity for children. Being able to understand a child's mindset is crucial in creating a conducive learning environment where students feel comfortable to express themselves and learn without fear of judgment. Arigato Gozaimas Ayana san!

I have been taking lessons with Ayana-sensei for over a month now and the lessons have been both fun and beneficial to my learning journey. She always has conversation topics ready and shares interesting parts of Japanese culture. She also adjusted well to my Japanese level and learning goals making sure each lesson is moving me forward on my journey. Even when my Japanese completely breaks down she is able to explain concepts to me in English if need be. With all that I wholeheartedly recommend Ayana-sensei!

Such a positive and fun teacher! Also very good at paying attention to mistakes and providing feedback in an easy to understand way that doesn't disrupt the flow of conversation.

Another great class with Ayana
