About Me
italki teacher since Jun 4, 2021Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesTravelFood
Hi, I’m Yayoi (ya-yo-ee). I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo. After working as a translator for several IT companies, I started working as a licensed English speaking tour guide. I have shown a lot of visitors around Tokyo. There are so many fun places to see here! I love talking to people from different countries and helping them to get around. I also work as an artist at Comic Con and other events. I like exploring the city of Tokyo, visiting shrines & temples, dancing, music, art, movies and watching sumo!

Me as a Teacher
I am friendly, patient, easy to talk to, and a good listener. I have a neutral accent, which I think is easy to understand. As a community tutor, I will be focusing on improving students' Japanese through natural, informal conversation, rather than teaching grammar etc. I would like to make our lessons a fun and safe place...there is no need to feel shy or embarrassed if you are struggling with anything. I like to remind students of their progress and help them keep motivated rather than let them worry about making mistakes.
まちがいをきにしないで、たのしく、たくさんはなしましょう！My lessons & teaching style
We can sit back and relax and talk about our everyday lives and interests, rather than me teaching you grammar using textbooks! I like making our lessons fun and enjoyable. I will help practice your conversation skills and learn new vocabulary words & phrases during our talks. My casual conversation class is for intermediate & advanced students who can make some conversation in Japanese. I will encourage students to talk a lot without worrying about making small mistakes. I will point out mistakes if necessary, in a manner that will not discourage you. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!
I prefer to use Skype for lessons (or Zoom for 30 min lessons). Thank you.My teaching material

Yayoi is super sweet, very helpful, kind and patient. My lessons fly by. She's given me more understanding of just regular conversation. It's been very fun! So omoshiroii!

I've had many many lessons with Yayoi-san at this point and they have been exactly what I was looking for.
Yayoi-san is a fantastic teacher who listens to your needs and goals and helps to teach you accordingly. She is open and easy to speak with, whether intermediate level like I am now - or at more of a beginner level as I was before!
Overall I couldn’t recommend Yayoi-san enough!

Great lesson! :) She is very kind and sweet. The amazing thing is that she speaks English very well, so she can translate what you want to say into Japanese very quickly.

Great first lesson with Yayoi-san! She was very helpful and encouraging and would write vocab down in the chat for me to read while we talked. Thank you!
