About Me
italki teacher since Apr 7, 2020Interest topicTravelEnvironment & NaturePets & AnimalsFood
I am a native Japanese speaker and fluent in English, living in Miyazaki. I love solo backpacking trip ,photography, nature, making friends around the world, exchanging cultures and languages, watching Youtube. I’ve travelled over 20 countries so far. I am recently interested in sustainable living, so trying to make less waste as much as possible( but it is too difficult in Japan especially my hometown... ). I can share about my life/travel experiences, zero waste and healthy living, or Friends(I love Joey) if you like!Me as a Teacher
With my extremely easy going, flexible and patient personality, I’m going to support you until you feel comfortable with your questions or issues during my lessons. And of course I can help you after lessons as well. I used to work at two hotels in Japan so I am happy to teach you professional business Japanese, as well what kind of hospitality we need to provide as a hotel staff working in Japan. Japanese hospitality regards to our culture is totally different from other countries so this could be a very interesting topic if you are interested in.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons is conversation style and my students will be intermediate to advanced level. We will talk about a topic which could be anything regards to your interest. I will focus on your speaking and listening practice and help you correcting grammar and pronunciation errors. As a community tutor I am not great at teaching/explaining grammar so if you need those, I would recommend you a professional or experienced teacher. I am flexible with my lessons so you can bring your own texts or topics, anything you want to try if you have. Take it easy with me, I will make my lessons comfortable to make you feel relaxed to learn Japanese with me.5.0

Thank you for the lesson! Today we had an interesting but hard topic. Thanks to Ayako-san I learned a lot of new words. Hopefully next time we'll finally discuss family!

Thank you for the lesson! Even though today turned into "Getting to know how scary K-pop is" it was a loooot of fun! and I learned a lot of useful words. Thank you very much and sorry for this huge load of unnecessary information 😅

Great lesson as always! It's just so easy to talk to Ayako-san, we always start with a broad and interesting topic and end up discussing something completely different but equally as interesting! That's what I like about our lessons the most. Thank you!
