Hi, I’m Ayano!! I’m a native Japanese speaker who loves teaching people from all over the world.
I speak some English but we will mainly use Japanese in our lessons because that’s the best way to learn!
I like my lessons to be fun because then you will be motivated to keep learning!
I know how hard it is to learn another language because I’m learning English, so I will be very supportive.
Maybe you want to learn Japanese to pass a test, speak to friends, get a job, or just for fun - whatever the reason, I will help you! !
Lesson rules:
- Have fun!
- Try to use Japanese as much as possible (even if you’re a beginner)
- Don’t be scared of making mistakes.
It’s normal!
- Try your best!
-Depending on the typeof lesson, I will give you homework, so if you are serious about the lesson, please book now!

Ayano-sensei is an absolute delight! She put me at ease right away and she remained engaging and attentive the entire hour. We had a great conversation and she gently but eagerly helped me out with gaps in my vocabulary. She even provided recommendations for my upcoming trip! I had so much fun, the hour flew by. I will definitely book a lesson with Ayano again when I can!! Thanks Ayano-sensei!!

Ayano always manages to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere, thus facilitating an ideal environment for language learning. She is patient when I struggle, and good at pointing out more natural ways to formulate sentences to always ensure that I improve. My repeated mistakes are also gently corrected, something I appreciate highly. I am learning a lot through every lesson and always end up feeling energized afterwards. A great teacher indeed!
