I have been a student of Ayana for 1.5 years and have gained a lot of knowledge in that time. Ayana is very flexiable and tailors the lesson to you and your goals; I was able to pass my next JLPT exam with her personalised lessons. Highly recommend!!

When my daughter indicated that she wanted to learn Japanese language, I asked her to google tutors. She found a number of them and we checked each one. We both felt that Ayana would be a good one to try and learn from. It turned out that she's great! She's very patient and adjusts to the level of the student, very professional and structured. It's almost a year since my daughter started her lessons with Ayana and she enjoys them very much. Highly recommended!

I have studied with Ayana sensei since 2016 and she is a wonderful teacher. She has helped me prepare well for JLPT lessons as well as travelling to Japan in the future and I highly recommend choosing her as your Japanese tutor

I studied Japanese with Ayana-sensei for 3 years and it was such a valuable and enjoyable time. She is kind and helpful, and I felt my language skills improving significantly. Her teaching style is very easy to follow and to study with. I am grateful to have met her and to have studied with her.

I enjoy the weekly Japanese classes very much. Apart from grammar, I can also learn nouns and verbs that I encounter in life. These words may not be learned in textbooks.Also, I appreciate the patience of teacher on my slow learning progress during the class.

I have been a student of Ayana's for three years now and can honestly say that if it weren't for her lessons, I wouldn’t have reached my current level of Japanese, or been able to maintain my Japanese in my adult life.Ayana is flexible and willing to change lesson plans on short notice to suit my needs, interests, and time commitments. She is a very positive teacher and I always feel excited to start a class with her. She is also very good at taking each student's individual goals with Japanese into account in her lesson plans.Thanks to Ayana, I have now reached a conversational level of Japanese and am going to take a working-holiday in Japan this April. I feel I will be able to take full advantage of this experience because of the strong foundation in Japanese that Ayana has given me.If you are interested in starting to study Japanese or are looking for a push to reach the next level in your Japanese studies, I could not recommend Ayana more.

Rie has been my tutor for over a year now and her teaching has allowed me to greatly and consistently improve my Japanese.I had self-taught/studied a lot in the past and struggled to move forward on my own. Rie has been able to identify the gaps in my learning without having to spend the time going through the things I already knew.I am very grateful for Rie and highly recommend her to all Japanese learners of any level.

Rie has and continues to be an incredible and patient teacher. I didn't know where to start with learning Japanese and Rie's guidance has been invaluable. I highly recommend her to anyone who is starting or wanting to improve their Japanese study!
