こんにちは!あやこです。🤗
Hello, I'm Ayako, a native Japanese tutor originally from Niigata, Japan, renowned for its high-quality rice and sake. I specialize in practical, conversational Japanese for beginners (A2) and intermediates (B1), blending my teaching experience in teaching international students and Specified Skilled Workers with a focus on real-life scenarios. Whether you’re preparing for travel, work, or friendships, my lessons are structured to make you speak confidently. As a solo traveler, I love sharing cultural tips—like hidden cafes or restaurants. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me eating around. Let’s make learning Japanese as enjoyable as a chat over coffee.

あなたの ともだちのような先生(せんせい)に
Do you have any Japanese friends? If not, I'd love to be your first Japanese friend. As a Japanese tutor, I've had experience teaching international students, Specific Skilled Workers, and spouses of a Japanese national and others in the last few years. With over 20 years of experience at a local newspaper, I excel at drawing out people's stories and perspectives. I'm sure I can help you clarify your goals and find ways to enjoy learning Japanese and keep it up. I know how enjoyable it is to learn a new language since I studied Greek after visiting Greece. Let's add more things you can speak in Japanese together, little by little at your own pace.

I always look forward to my time with Ayako! She puts so much time and effort into preparing lessons to fit my learning needs. The notes she sends afterward are also extremely detailed and useful. It’s clear she cares greatly about my Japanese learning journey!

I was so excited to talk to Ayako-san about my trip to Japan! I was able to be a confident speaker (and listener) in Japan thanks to Ayako-san's lessons. Thank you, Ayako-san!
