Ayako
Certified by NTA and Experienced Japanese Tutor
Hello! (Konnichiwa!) My name is Ayako! I am a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, Japan. For the past decade, I have acquired vast experience teaching the Japanese language to various clients in the business, travel, and educational fields. I have studied both in Japan and in the United States and have completed various college degrees. While growing up in Japan, I taught non-Japanese people all levels of the Japanese language, varying from entry level to advanced level skills. I also have...

We took the opportunity to meet Ayako ahead of time and she never mentioned that she would be taking a two to three month leave of absence in April 2013. I am frustrated that my son has only had two lessons and we will now have to find a new tutor. We should have been told by Ayako at the time we met her that this would be the case.

When I started my search, I was having a difficult time finding tutors who were native Japanese speakers. I really wanted my continuing studies to be with someone who could give me insight into the proper phrases and most commonly used translations. Ayako sensei has provided those things and more. I have been with Ayako sensei for over a year and have seen an incredible improvement in my Japanese. She is patient and takes time to fully answer my questions and makes sure that I understand her answers. She frequently checks in with me to make sure that the lessons are geared towards what it is I want to learn. She offers very helpful study aids to use in addition to the books that we work through in our sessions. She also keeps me apprised of Japanese culture related events that are going on in the area. I highly recommend her!
