Ayumi K

She explains the nuances of what you say or what the text is saying. To me that is valuable in helping me understand concepts and she provides information not found in textbooks. She has identified my areas of improvement from the very first lesson, and is diligent in correcting my mistakes, even pronunciation. I have many lessons booked and look forward to being her student.

5-Star Ayumi-Sensei. 皆さん､こんにちは！　久しぶりにコメントを書きますね。あゆみ先生は優しいと言う評判ですね。しかし、優しい性格よりあゆみ先生の特長は僕の弱点を一生懸命頑張って教えてまいただきます。幸い結局､学生の為にあゆみさんにだんだんペラペラだし自然だし日本語を教えてもらいます。皆さんにこのポイントを伝えたいと思います。必ずあゆみさんを勧めます。

Best Japanese teacher. I've been taking lessons with Ayumi for a long time now and she always offers easy explanations, speaks in easy-to-understand Japanese that adjusts with your level (allowing you to building speaking/listening skills), and writing notes for the vocabulary used in lessons. She also has a ton of PowerPoint slides for the grammar from Minna No Nihongo (one of the most popular texts). She really puts the "professional" in Professional tutor on iTalki. If you're serious about learning, I would recommend her, because she has all the experience and know-how to bring your Japanese to where you want it to be.

Ayumi was direct in her approach. She clearly stated the amount of effort, and some learning methods to help me reach my goal. While I have only had a trial lesson with her, it was apparent she was experienced and could help others reach their language goals.

Greatest teacher ever

Ayumi-Sensei's lessons are always enjoyable. Her lessons are clear and concise, but she is always able to cover the lesson syllabus. Additionally, she puts in a lot of effort to make the lesson(s) relatable to the students. It's quite clear why she's one of the best teachers on Italki. I'm really happy to have found her as a teacher and look forward to our subsequent lessons. (:
