Japanese Lessons

あやかさんはいいせんせいです！ Translation: Ayaka is a great teacher! I’ve only been taking her lessons once a week and my Japanese has improved tremendously. I went for only knowing a few phrases here and there(mainly from anime), to being able construct my own sentences. She is very kind, and is willing to answer any question you may have about the lesson as well as supplying you with enough materials to study from so no textbook is required. Also, she creates the lessons so that they are catered to your needs and learning capability. Overall, I highly recommend her class as she makes learning Japanese both fun and interesting!

I have been taking lessons with Ayaka-sensee for a few weeks now, and I'm really enjoying them! She is super friendly, patient, and explains things simply and clearly. I immediately felt comfortable with her in my first lesson, and I find that I am always looking forward to the next one! Ayaka-sensee is very encouraging and makes learning Japanese fun for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor. Five stars. *****

Ayaka is extremely attentive and supportive of your learning. She outlines her lessons very clearly and helps you incorporate Japanese beyond simple memorization. She is a very thoughtful teacher!

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Here are examples of the learning process for different levels. Novice Level Learner: N5, N4 (Genki 1) - Greeting phrases - Basic Japanese writing system. e.g. Hiragana and Katakana - Numbers e.g. time, price, and ages, etc... - Long-form (polite way to talk) - How to order food - Culture etc... Intermediate Level Learner: N4, N3 (Genki 1 and Genki 2) - Many different kinds of forms are often used in Japanese society. e.g. しなければいけません, 〜んです, etc....... - 300 to 500Kanjis - reading passages with Kanji - reading a short news article and discuss the topic - Culture etc... Advanced Level Learner: N2, N1 (Tobira, Japanese news articles, or other requested textbooks) - 800 to 1000 Kanjis - Thinking critically in Japanese - Reading long articles from a Japanese website and discuss - Using the textbook "Tbira" to learn advanced grammar - Culture and History etc... I will provide you HW after lessons. Some people are too busy to work on HW outside of the lesson. In that case, we will work on the HW together in the lesson. I'm flexible with anyone who has a busy schedule and wants to learn Japanese.
