I was a game company worker! I'm a top 1% italki teacher who teaches real (&otaku/Vtuber) Japanese! Hi, my name is Ayano. I’m a certified Japanese teacher and a top 1% Japanese teacher on italki. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I lived in Hawaii before. [My previous job & specialties] - I worked as a secretary to a board member of a famous game company. So, I’m good at teaching both real business Japanese and casual Japanese for otaku! - I was a maid in Akiba [My other job] - I also worked as a professional model and a writer at an popular online news site. - I do VTuber too. - I was a promotional model at the Tokyo Game Show & the Tokyo Motor Show etc. [Tourist Information Center] - I also worked as a receptionist in Akihabara! I teach real, natural and practical Japanese in very effective ways. I don't use unnatural Japanese such as 私の名前は (watashino namae wa) ! So you will be able to speak like native speakers! If you need to use English in our lesson, we can do so. No worries! However, let's use Japanese as much as possible for your learning, of course. Feel free to ask me other requests and questions!

I carefully listen and help students express what they truly want to say in natural Japanese. Many students tell me: “I feel relaxed speaking with you.” “I can speak more naturally now.” For beginners, I can also provide structured lessons using textbooks such as “Minna no Nihongo” and “Irodori.” I can help with: ・Conversation practice ・Pronunciation correction ・JLPT preparation ・Travel Japanese ・Kansai dialect ・Coaching-style sessions in Japanese Mistakes are always welcome — that’s how we improve 😊 Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together in a relaxed and supportive environment!

Certified teacher who not only knows English but also knows how to teach Japanese to English speaker 🎓Bilingual Japanese teacher qualified in Australia I offer native fluency and deep cultural insight, providing authentic and culturally relevant learning materials. I can explain Japanese grammar clearly in English — something teachers without training in English-language instruction, AI tools, and self-study resources often struggle to do. My Western educational background also helps me bridge cultural and linguistic gaps for English-speaking learners. I tailor my lessons to each student's needs, helping them enjoy learning while steadily building their skills. My goal is to help them become confident, independent learners. 📚Over 10 years of teaching experience I have worked with learners from absolute beginners to advanced students (N5–N1), supporting them in achieving their goals for work, JLPT, daily life, etc. My lessons are especially well suited to motivated learners who enjoy taking an active role in their learning. 🎯Two types of lessons. 🔹 Informal Tutoring - Developing verbal communication skills without textbooks or set plans A relaxed space to practise speaking. I correct errors during conversation. This course is only for learners who are already comfortable speaking Japanese. 🔹 Professional Structured Lessons - Developing verbal communication skills while building a strong foundation through lesson plans and learning materials I also assist with homework, proofreading, and exam preparation. 📢Recognising hiragana is essential 🚫No influencers, please!

    こうすけさん has been extremely helpful over the course of three months. For the past year and a half, I went through Genki I and II by myself and it never felt like the grammar was sticking like it should, even with the use of Bunpro to help reinforce. Since my lessons have started, the constant review and reinforcement has given me much more confidence in my output and overall understanding of the Japanese language.

    Tatsuya san is so so good at maintaining the flow of a conversation, all while guiding me through sentence construction, grammar, and new vocabulary at the same time! Not once are there any awkward pauses as he creates a comfortable environment for me try speaking and make mistakes. It's really quite impressive. I would highly highly recommend!

    242 Stunden mit Sachiko als Lehrerin - wie die Zeit vergehen kann. Der Unterricht findet auf sehr gutem Deutsch und Japanisch statt - mittlerweile sogar mehr auf japanisch als auf deutsch. Die Dialoge sind meist auf Ereignissen der letzten Woche, wodurch man auch neue Vokabel kennen lernt. Sachiko ist immer pünktlich, gut vorbereitet, und steckt mit ihrer guten Laune immer an. Der Unterricht folgt einem "Lehrplan" analog einem Lehrbuch. Es wird aber nicht nur stumpf das Buch abgearbeitet sondern Grammatik / Kulturelles wird durch eigene, verständlichere Folien / Bilder erklärt. Zu Beginn jeder Unterrichtstunde gibt es einen Dialog / Sprechübung, in der man über Urlaubsbilder, Geschehnisse aus der letzten Woche o.Ä. spricht. Ansonsten sprechen die Zahlen für sich: Anzahl Studenten vs Anzahl Stunden: viele Studenten nehmen mehr als nur 1-3 Stunden bei ihr. 5 Sterne Bewertung bei > 7100 Stunden - findet mal eine 5 Sterne Google-Bewertung mit über 7100 Bewertungen.

    I'm 20+ lessons in with Jackie-san and she continues to be able to provide everything I need from a Japanese tutor. Today, I asked to review some older material that I hadn't fully learned yet and was thinking of a good apology to give since I felt like I was wasting her time, but she just laughed and pulled up all the material from all of our past lessons that was all tagged and time stamped. I was able to pick out the past material I had questions on and she was able to review it with me with nothing, but kindness and patience. I was struggling a bit today and she didn't mind keeping at my pace. This is usual for her which is why I've been back as many times as I have. Look for my name in her review history. I've tried to comprehensively cover everything about her and her teaching style, but I honestly can't. How do I explain in a review that I can get an in depth explanation about anything I want to ask ever and not be made to feel bad for not mastering everything I've seen yet?

    An amazing teacher to study Japanese with! Patient, kind and great at teaching nuance within Japanese grammar. She allows me to make the grammar my own by explaining all the ways certain structures and verbs are used, and in which contexts. Paying more attention to things I find difficult.

At the end of the lesson she sends me a one sheet review page over everything that we covered. This makes it very easy to brush up between lessons. This is great for someone who is trying to learn words in context or has learned Japanese in the past but need a refresher.

    I love my lessons with Shiota-Sensei! He has customised the lessons around my specific interests (board games and craft beer!) and makes the lessons very fun! He keeps in touch in between lessons with information relating to the topics we discussed. It feels like I'm just chatting with a good friend. I have been learning Japanese through apps and online tools and videos, and this is the first time working with a tutor. I'm finding it very helpful to learn more about how to have conversations. ありがとうございます

    Erina-san and I have gone through a whole textbook together and I am more confident than ever in my ability to speak Japanese. I have been able to take what I've learned from our lessons and use it in real conversation with native Japanese speakers. It's been a very fulfilling experience learning Japanese and I can't thank Erina-san enough for her time teaching!

    Still here after all these years! As you can see from the number of lessons I have had with Youhei-san, he is a wonderful teacher. He has taken me from a total beginner to someone who can have a conversation and understand podcasts. I hope to continue working with him for many years to come.

Frequently asked questions

What is the JLPT exam?

The JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) is an internationally recognized exam that assesses the proficiency of non-native Japanese speakers. Established in 1984, the JLPT evaluates language skills across five levels, from N5 (beginner) to N1 (advanced). Each level tests a candidate’s ability to understand and use the Japanese language in various contexts, including listening, reading, grammar, and vocabulary.

The exam focuses on practical language skills rather than theoretical knowledge, making it relevant for individuals seeking to live, work, or study in Japan. It is widely accepted by educational institutions, employers, and government agencies as a measure of Japanese proficiency. The JLPT is held twice a year in many countries, and passing a specific level can open doors to academic opportunities, professional advancement, and cultural engagement in Japanese-speaking environments.

Will my tutor provide JLPT practice tests and materials?

Many JLPT tutors on italki provide practice tests and study materials tailored to specific JLPT levels, though it’s best to confirm this with your tutor before starting lessons. Many experienced tutors supply mock exams, vocabulary lists, grammar guides, and kanji practice sheets that align with the JLPT structure and format. They might also share official or practice questions to help you become familiar with exam content and timing.

For higher levels like N2 or N1, some tutors even have access to advanced resources, including reading passages and audio exercises that target the test’s more challenging aspects. If your tutor doesn’t directly provide materials, they may recommend reliable resources or share links to websites and textbooks geared towards self-study.

Can I take JLPT classes even if I’m a beginner?

Yes, you can take JLPT classes as a beginner! Many tutors on italki offer beginner-friendly classes specifically geared toward N5 (the easiest level) or N4, which are suitable for those new to Japanese. These sessions typically cover foundational skills, including basic vocabulary, essential kanji, introductory grammar, and simple listening exercises, all aligned with the JLPT format.

Starting with a JLPT-focused class as a beginner is a great way to build structured skills in Japanese while preparing for future tests. Your tutor can guide you through the basics and help you set a steady pace toward proficiency.

How do I know if I’m ready to take the JLPT?

To determine if you’re ready to take the JLPT, a good first step is assessing your comfort level with each skill required for your target level (listening, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and kanji). Taking a mock test can be especially helpful; it simulates the real test experience and lets you see how well you handle the exam’s format and timing.

A tutor can also help evaluate your readiness by reviewing your mock test scores and identifying any weak areas that need improvement. Generally, if you’re consistently scoring near or above the passing level for your target JLPT level on practice exams and feel comfortable with the required kanji and grammar, you’re likely ready for the actual test.
