About Me
italki teacher since Apr 24, 2020Interest topicPets & 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

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'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.

Aya-san is one of the best teachers I’ve had! She is very patient, even when I’m making mistakes. She answers all my questions! We’ve had 6 lessons and I already feel like I can say many things in Japanese:)
