Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! I have been teaching Japanese language online for 3 years now. Before that, I also participated in a seminar for volunteer Japanese language teachers for a year. If you have started studying Japanese, I recommend a study method to memorize phrases that Japanese people often use. Simple and common phrases used in everyday situation would help in starting a conversation. Try to speak with a lot of simple phrases and you’ll be able to get used to Japanese language. I will suggest several ways to learn and adjust the lessons according to your purpose. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together!

Hi, I’m Ayano!! I’m a native Japanese speaker from Ehime 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! !

I'll make a special lesson note for you, no need to take notes during the class! Currently I live in Poland as a Japanese teacher, and began my career in Warsaw at one of the biggest language school where I conducted group/private courses for over 100 students with 5years of teaching experience as a tutor in U.S, Thailand and Poland. I can offer materials(Genki, Marugoto, workbooks for JLPT etc) for your study if interested, and in my student-centered classes, you can develop communicative skills, broaden vocabulary, study grammar, read effectively and write professionally. I decided to work abroad, not in Japan because I long dreamt of spreading how many different beauties and charms Japan has to offer and came to Warsaw to make my dream to come true.
