About Me
italki teacher since Aug 6, 2018Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese since 2018 on italki. Since I began teaching, I’ve taught students, from beginners to advanced learners, from all over the world.
Also, I earned an official certification as a Japanese teacher after completing a 420-hour course on teaching Japanese as a second language.
I also teach at a Japanese conversation school in Osaka for students from all over the world.
I encourage you to speak freely and I will ask you many questions so that you can improve your Japanese listening and speaking skills, and I am 100% supportive and that I will do my best to help you study!!My lessons & teaching style
I believe that learning should be fun and enjoyable. I listen closely to what students want to learn and tailor the lessons to be efficient and effective. I assure students that making mistakes is part of the learning process and provide patient, positive feedback.
I also believe that a comfortable learning environment is important so I am patient and understanding. I’m totally comfortable with mistakes, pauses or shyness in a student's conversation.
Textbooks that I have..
Beginner: みんなの日本語初級Ⅰ・Ⅱ、中級へ行こう

You are truly the best teacher for any beginner. 🌸
Your kindness, patience, and clear explanations make Japanese feel less intimidating and much more enjoyable. Even from the very first steps, you create a safe space where learning becomes exciting instead of overwhelming.
Thank you so much for guiding me with such care and encouragement. I feel lucky to have met you today as my teacher, and I believe any beginner would feel the same. 💕

I feel like today’s class was an awesome review of previous vocab and a great expansion on past knowledge. I always appreciate Aiko’s creative approach of making sure I practice not just the questions on the screen but I get a chance to practice asking and answering questions. I always feel like I’m learning more each lesson and have a great time.

We did a lot in the lesson today. Learned a lot of new vocabulary, which really is fun. Aiko is very kind to reassure me that I don’t have to have it all memorized immediately. She asks lots of questions and has us focus on small chunks of vocabulary first and that really helps get it into the brain

We are learning a lot of vocabulary and I appreciate repeating the words to help memorize them. Being able to practice the vocabulary in my day-to-day life is really helpful
