L’insegnate è molto preparata e paziente, sa mettere a suo agio lo studente e lo aiuta se non capisce. Veramente consigliata!

Ayumi 先生 is very patient and well-organized teacher. She explained all vocabulary and grammar in clear way. And we practiced speaking a lot during lesson. I recommend this teacher with all my heart to anyone starting their journey with Japanese 💕

Ayumi-sensei is a very nice tutor who takes time to explain and repeat anything you'd need. She adapted to my japanese level and built a lesson that fit my level but also challenged it a bit which is exactly what I needed. She also provided a detailed recap of the lesson afterward and gave me material to prepare for the next one. She is very thorough and I enjoyed the class very much !

Thank you again for today. During the lesson, I was able to practice speaking a lot while Ayumi-sensei carefully corrected my mistakes. Her teaching style was very helpful because it allowed me to speak with confidence in a relaxed and enjoyable conversation, and also helped me realize areas for improvement. :) 今日もありがとうございました。レッスンでは、あゆみ先生に間違いを丁寧に訂正していただきながら、たくさんスピーキングの練習ができました。先生の教え方は、リラックスした楽しい会話の中で、自信を持って話せるようになるだけでなく、自分の改善点にも気づくことができ、とても役立ちました。:)

I had a wonderful inaugural lesson with Ayumi sensei. She gave me plenty of room to communicate and listened attentively for errors and ways to have me expand on topics I had brought up along the way. She gave me the most thorough set of notes I have ever received on Italki, a testament to Ayumi sensei’s commitment to professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile. I look forward to our next lesson.
