Ayako Suzuki

This was my 100th lesson with Ayako-san! I started almost from scratch, and now I can understand and say so many things. Of course, my vocabulary is still limited, but I can actually communicate with Japanese people. That was my goal, and slowly achieving it brings me so much joy. I still cannot believe I have come this far in my Japanese learning journey, especially since I study it as a hobby and don’t have the chance to use it daily. I think this was possible thanks to Ayako-san’s calm and fun approach. My lessons became a relaxing part of my evenings rather than feeling like the effort of studying a subject, and this really helped me keep going. Thank you so much Ayako-san. またね！

Ayako sensei is a fantastic teacher, one of the best here on italki that I’ve ever had in fact. Her lessons are always fun, educational and relaxed, at the same time. We joke and laugh a lot, having fun while learning, making it feel almost effortless. She always gives me enough time to try to first find my own way to convey what I want to say in Japanese, instead of ”putting words in my mouth”, and offers corrections and help when needed, which means that I get a lot of practice in actually speaking and improving my conversational abilities and independence. I can’t recommend Ayako sensei enough! Give her lessons a try, you won’t regret it! いつもありがとうございます。今年もよろしくお願いしますね！

Great Lesson!

We've been learning with Ayako for more than a year now and we can really see the progress. Today, Ayako had prepared materials especially for our weaknesses, which was very helpful. Her materials are great and she's very patient with our questions.

We love lessons with Ayako: she is very helpful, clear and encouraging. We are learning so much and enjoying each class!

Ayako-san customizes lessons to your individual needs which makes it easier for you to learn. I'm very happy to have her as my teacher and always look forward to the next lesson with her. Thank you Ayako-san!
