About Me
italki teacher since Apr 24, 2020InterestsPets & AnimalsFoodSports & Fitness
I was born in Japan, grew up in Indonesia, educated in the US and currently living in Italy. I love traveling and hiking. In the past few years, I’ve been exploring the Alps and the beautiful cities and villages in Italy. I also love eating good food and meeting people!Me as a Teacher
Teaching is my passion. I've taught in various institutions, online and offline. I have a lot of experience teaching beginner to intermediate students in Japanese and in English. I can help you improve your daily conversation skills and/or academic study.My lessons & teaching style
I encourage my students to talk a lot during the lessons, but that doesn’t mean we will be just chatting. When the lessons is over, you’ll have learnt something new and be confident in using them in the real situations.
If you don't have any specific requests, we can use materials from textbooks to start with. I will be asking level appropriate questions, so don't worry if you are not so confident with your language skills.
Although my lessons are taught in its language, if you have any problem expressing yourself, I can help you in English or in Italian.My teaching material

Aya Sensei is an incredible teacher! She creates a warm and encouraging learning environment, tailoring each lesson to our pace and interests. Her explanations are clear, her patience is endless, and she makes learning Japanese both effective and fun. We've seen real progress in our skills thanks to her thoughtful guidance. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese! 🌸✨

I've been studying with Aya-sensei every week for over half a year now. I'm continually impressed with Aya-sensei's ability to always challenge me without making it too difficult or too easy. Progress is steady and I can sincerely recommend Aya-sensei to anyone who wishes to improve their Japanese.

I had my first lesson with Aya and I was really satisfied. 🌸
She is a kind and attentive teacher, able to quickly understand what a student truly needs when starting to learn a new language.
I really liked how she guided the lesson, focusing on the most useful points to work on first, while giving clear explanations and practical advice.
Even though she speaks Italian, I preferred to have the lesson in English: this allows me to practice both English and Japanese, which makes the experience simply perfect … just like her English!
Her English is excellent and makes communication smooth and enjoyable.
Time flew by, and the lesson was both interesting and motivating.
I’m really looking forward to continuing with more lessons!

First official lesson with Aya sensei. Aya sensei is a Cambridge CELTA-qualified teacher who is very good at engaging students using well-graded questions. Her approach is highly student-centred, allowing me plenty of opportunities to practise listening and speaking.

I still don’t believe it… AyaSan made me speak in Japanese, it was the first time for me.
Thank you so much, Aya. 🌸

Today marks my 10th lesson with Aya-sensei. Every lesson has been an absolute joy with lots of learning, patience and discussions. I always look forward to our lessons & I am motivated to do my best in class.
Aya-sensei provides many ways of learning Japanese from quizes (often featuring very surprising, but always enjoyable character cameos from across pop culture), roleplaying scenarios to practice spoken conversation and reading and writing exercises.
I highly recommend Aya-sensei as your next tutor for learning Japanese!!
