Me as a Teacher
I have been working as a professional Japanese teacher for 6 years.
I have taught Japanese to students from beginner level to advanced level.
Teaching Japanese is my passion and I enjoy sharing ideas with my students.
Since I also love learning languages, I studied English Literature at university and got teaching certificate of English. So, if you cannot speak Japanese, that's OK.
I can teach Japanese in English. Let's start the language journey together with me:)
6年間プロの日本語教師として日本語を教えています。
これまで、初級から上級まで様々なレベルの学生に教えてきました。
私は日本語を教えることに情熱を持っています。
そして、学生と考えを共有することに面白さを感じます。
私自身言語を学ぶのが好きなので、大学では英文学を専攻し、英語教師の資格も取りました。
なので、もしあなたが今全く日本語が話せなくても、英語を使って教えるので大丈夫です。
一緒に楽しい言語学習の旅に出ましょう☺
My lessons & teaching style
*I occasionally accept new students.
So, if you are interested in my lesson, I suggest you to book my trial lesson:)
My motto is to make my students satisfied with my lesson in which you can take advantage of one to one lesson. I want you to get confidence in having communication using Japanese:)

Students need to pay the lesson fee even if the student doesn’t attend the lesson.

I've been really impressed by Ayana. I initially started online lessons while I was unable to go to Japanese school during the Covid pandemic. But I soon realised that I get so much more out of every lesson I do with Ayana than at the school. So I have been continuing my journey with her every since.
Ayana really pays attention to my personal strengths and weaknesses and adapts to the style of learning that suits me best. She's really easy going and creates a very comfortable environment. I always feel my Japanese improving after every lesson.
She's a very capable teacher and above that, she has become a good friend as well!

I’ve now been having lessons with Ayana-sensei once a week for over a year now and I can wholeheartedly say that it’s been a wonderful experience. Each lesson has been an important stepping stone on my journey to be fluent in Japanese. Ayana-sensei patiently guided me in transforming my book knowledge of Japanese into a competent speaking ability. At the start, I could barely string together half a sentence during conversations but now I can construct (mostly) grammatically correct sentences and express my opinions and thoughts during conversations. Ayana-sensei's biggest strength is her kindness and will go the extra mile to prepare interesting topics to discuss each week and makes sure to remember things about her students to follow up on conversations. If you’re looking for someone to start your Japanese journey with or improve your conversational ability, Ayana-sensei has the English ability to help when needed and the teaching experience to make it happen. Strongly recommend!

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.

Class number 2 with Ayana-sensei completed and I'm looking forward to the next one! Our call flew by! It felt like talking to a friend. She taught me several new things and her patience helped break my nervousness. Thank you sensei! See you soon. :D

Ayana always keeps lessons fun and has the patience of a saint. She is able to explain things in a clear and concise way, as well as always open to providing materials for subjects that I ask for.
あやな先生、次のレッスンは楽しみにします。
