I had a lovely trial lesson with Aoi-sensei. She made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. She was very patient with me and the conversation flowed nicely. She corrected my mistakes and helped me with vocabulary and grammar in a way that encouraged the conversation so I came away from the lesson feeling more confident in my speaking. We covered goals for future lessons and she spoke at a speed and vocabulary level that was easy for me to understand without feeling patronising. She provided me with a list of vocabulary and grammar points at the end of the lesson so that I can practice my mistakes. I'm really looking forward to my next lesson with Aoi-sensei!

今日もありがとうございます。If you are looking for a Japanese language teacher, I highly recommend Aoi-san! I've been doing weekly lessons with her for three and a half months now and my Japanese has progressed so much. She is very patient, kind and funny. She sends me a list of vocabulary we talked about in the lesson as well as any mistakes that I made with the corrections so that I can learn from them. She is easily able to keep the conversation flowing and engaging. I look forward to speaking with her every single week. I recently bumped up the amount of lesson time because the time flies by so quickly! Thank you again Aoi-san! ❤❤

I had an excellent first conversation with Aoi sensei. We touched upon various interesting subjects that I don't usually converse about and she is a very attentive and natural teacher! The most notable thing she did during our lesson was write down all the mistakes I made in my speaking and send the notes after the lesson. No other teacher has done that before and I thought that was super awesome and helpful =)

Aoi san is very friendly and patient! It was my first italki lesson so I was nervous beforehand but she was very relaxed and bubbly. We were able to converse in Japanese and I received notes on vocabulary and grammar points that I missed, which were helpful!

Aoi is a fantastic italki tutor. It's easy to find instructors who are kind and easy to talk to, which Aoi is, but it's even more impressive to find those who clearly know very well how to push students and guide them towards a higher level of skill. As an instructor, Aoi has a particularly good quality; she is very skilled at knowing how to bring students into a space just beyond their ability and allowing them to learn and explore new concepts under her guidance. She's always very good at staying in Japanese, rather than switching to English at the first sign of trouble as many tutors do, which is necessary so that students can learn how to try and think in Japanese and work through problems without defaulting to their native tongue. I feel I've learned a great deal from her, and I always leave our lessons with a clear idea of what to review and what to focus on next. I'd highly recommend anyone work with her, be you a beginner, intermediate, advanced, or anything in between!

This is the first time I ever did an online language lesson, so I was quite nervous, but Aoi-sensei made me feel comfortable immediately! I was able to speak much more than I expected to and she was very encouraging and helpful when I didn't know how to express what I wanted to say, repeating questions as needed and suggesting words to get me started. The full 30 minutes were productive and fun, and afterwards I received a list of new vocabulary and mistake corrections which is super helpful for reviewing and memorizing what I learned! I can warmly recommend doing a trial lesson with Aoi-sensei if you're feeling shy about speaking Japanese!
