I’m still learning, so I often feel like I’m not good at it.
Therefore, I totally understand the feelings of Japanese learners well.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have been teaching Japanese since 2018 on italki. Since I began teaching, I’ve taught students, from beginners to advanced learners, from all over the world.
Also, I earned an official certification as a Japanese teacher after completing a 420-hour course on teaching Japanese as a second language.
I also teach at a Japanese conversation school in Osaka for students from all over the world.
I encourage you to speak freely and I will ask you many questions so that you can improve your Japanese listening and speaking skills, and I am 100% supportive and that I will do my best to help you study!!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I believe that learning should be fun and enjoyable. I listen closely to what students want to learn and tailor the lessons to be efficient and effective. I assure students that making mistakes is part of the learning process and provide patient, positive feedback.
I also believe that a comfortable learning environment is important so I am patient and understanding. I’m totally comfortable with mistakes, pauses or shyness in a student's conversation.
Textbooks that I have..
Beginner: みんなの日本語初級Ⅰ・Ⅱ、中級へ行こう
Intermediate:ニューアプローチ(基礎編、完成編)、Try!N3
I don't have Genki.
Aiko is amazingly patient and the best cheerleader as you’re learning. She finds great engaging ways to teach and truly cares about her students. I had technical struggles today and Aiko worked with me to find a solution that worked for both of us.

I appreciate that Aiko sensei reviews materials and allows for time to take notes. She is always so patient and really reminds you that you don’t have to stress about learning the vocabulary all at once. She’s great at repeating it so you’re able to familiarize yourself with it both in reviewing it and practicing with it.

Aiko-sensei is always a pleasure to speak with and does a wonderful job at correcting mistakes as I make them during the course of the lesson.

I always have great lessons with Aiko sensai. She is patient, understanding and makes the material easy to understand. We review materials and also practice with real experiences. I always appreciate that she encourages me to keep going and is always understanding to take lessons slowly when necessary

I love my lessons with Aiko. They’re always so informative and fun! I feel like I improve each time. Aiko makes each lesson incredibly fun and well-paced. She guides you and encourages you to repeat phrases to make sure that you’re properly pronouncing the words/phrases. She also laughs with you when you find something funny and will find a great way to turn it into a learning opportunity . I was struggling with saying 999 and Aiko wrote it out so I could see it and helped me practice it several times. It made learning the more difficult numbers really fun and it was a great experience.
