About Me
italki teacher since Jan 29, 2019
Hi, everyone!! I'm Ayu from Oita, Japan. Oita is well-known as an onsen (hot springs) town. Some of my students came to visit me and they all loved it here. I love becoming friends with my students, meeting them in person is great. I'm an animal lover (I'm not vegetarian though...). My favorite animal is beaver!! Beavers are so cute. I want a puppy or a kitten now. I love seeing my student's pet in a lesson. Sometimes they want to join our lessons ;) I'm into workout. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week and train with weights. I want to be strong!! I'm very friendly, easy going, patient and passionate about teaching. I can't wait to talk to you in my lesson.

Ayu Sensei is a Delight! She is funny, kind, and easy to talk with. It is easy to get lost in conversation with her and become excited to share what you've learned and experienced from week to week. She is very welcoming of questions and does a great job at helping me understand the suddle differences between my culture and those of Japan. It is about to be 6 months now that I began studying with Ayu Sensei and I can say this has been one of the best decisions I've made this entire year! I recommend anyone who is interested in learning Japanese to consider learning from Ayu Sensei. She is the best!

It was a great lesson today! Pleasantly surprised to have learned so many things that weren’t on the textbook. Ayu sensei is someone who really takes into account your learning goals and feedback and I really appreciate that a lot. Looking forward to our conversation and writing lesson :)

Very accessible teacher. I haven't seen this before on iTalki. Ayu has an own Youtube channel in which you can get a taste of her teaching style. She also has an Instagram profile in which she posts words and their conjugations. We've spent about my entire first lesson chatting and we decided on the correct learning style that would fit me. I've got the confidence that Ayu will teach me everything I want to know. I've already got my next lesson booked! Also; she has great availability for people (like me) in Europe. ありがとうございました。

Ayu was amazing! I was super nervous, but she was very patient and helped me when I started to stumble. I highly recommend having a conversation with her!

It's been a long time since COVID-19 has finally ended. Ayu definitely is proud of how my Japanese skills have finally improved. I cannot stop learning more languages including Japanese, and the other essential languages I'm in contact with. I'm so happy to see Ayu again by reconnecting with her.
