★いっしょに楽しく勉強しよう!Let's study together!★ 日本語教師の資格を持っています(2009年~)。資格取得後、ずっと地域の日本語教室で日本語を教えており、現在も続けています。 オンラインレッスンは2年ほど経験があります。 ティーチングではなく、コーチングを意識し、生徒一人一人に合わせて、柔軟にレッスンに対応するよう心がけています。 日本語を教えることがとても好きです。日本の文化や価値観もたくさん伝えたいです。 I have been certified as a Japanese language teacher since 2009. Since obtaining my qualification, I have been teaching at a local Japanese language class and continue to do so today. I also have about two years of experience teaching online. Rather than simply "teaching," I focus on a coaching approach, adapting each lesson to suit the individual needs of my students. I truly enjoy teaching Japanese and hope to share not only the language but also Japanese culture and values.

Japanese with Ayano
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! !

Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! I've been a Japanese teacher for 5 years, with 3 years on italki and 2 at other institutions. I started studying education and psychology at university in 2025. My goal is to create a safe and understanding learning environment that boosts learning outcomes. I prioritize building a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn comfortably. Due to work and university commitments, I can only offer up to 3 hours of lessons per day. However, I use my experience to pack each lesson with valuable learning. I've conducted over 2,000 lessons on italki and around 500 at my previous company. With limited time, I strive to deliver at least one new discovery in every lesson.
