Ayumi K

I've been taking Ayumi San's lessons for a few years now and have been able to improve my Japanese so much thanks to her teaching style - but more importantly, SHE CORRECTS YOUR MISTAKES! which is quite rare here on italki unfortunately, but Ayumi helps explain grammar points and gives great feedback on what to use instead and encourages you to speak a lot. her classes are great for people who want to use books and study the traditional way but also for people who want to speak lots and learn vocab about niche topics and Japanese culture. thank you sensei, recommended for all levels and those that want to learn lots!

毎週一回二回にあゆみ先生の授業を参加していますね。まず初め私たちの授業のはFree会話をしてからNHKのEASYニュースの記事を読んで復習する。僕のレベルは中級ですから、この勉強はあまり難しくないと思う。必ずチャレンジのレッスンであゆみ先生は生徒に対して優しいですが､それよりもあゆみさんは有用な言葉を教えてくれます。たまにちょっと厳しいですが、ペラペラ日本語を話せるように大切です。やっぱり流暢な日本語を話したかったら、単語や読解や聴解などしなければならない。私はアメリカにいるのに授業は９９％日本語ですから、日本にいるような状況だと思います(like an immersion experience). あゆみ先生の教える技術についてNHKの記事を読もうとする単語を伝えて質問を言って記事を読みながら色々な言葉を復習して質問を答えます。結局よく理解出来るはず。あゆみ先生はぜひ必ず勧める。ぜったいに後悔しないと思います。

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.

Thanks for the lesson. Very clear explanations about the Japanese articles. a very well structured lesson

Awesome lesson and materials. Good learning environment!!

This was my first 2 hour lesson on Italki in a long time. With Ayumi-sensei the time flew by and I genuinely feel like I learned a lot! Thank you so much for these excellent classes!
