About Me

I was born in Japan and moved to Italy from a young age, but I always practiced Japanese at home and regularly went to Japan for summer study programs.
During my undergraduate studies in France, I started teaching part-time Japanese and Italian.

Last year, I had the chance to work as a teacher again, together with some translation and interpreting services in Japan.
I am very passionate about helping people with language learning processes and sharing with my students my knowledge of my two cultures!

That's why I believe that language classes should follow the student's personality, interests, and objectives :) I am also prepared to assist for official language tests.

When teaching, my main interest is always "how can I help you more"!
Feel free to contact me!
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Amazing teacher!
The lessons are always fun and interesting, and Ayumi does a great job of explaining even difficult subjects, in such a way that they never feel overwhelming. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
Very helpful!
Going back to learning Japanese with Ayumi was the right choice. She caters to my wants and needs as a student, is dedicated in bringing new information and making sure I am learning correctly. She is a very enjoyable company and always has interesting topics to talk about, helping myself to improve really fast.
Great teach! Gives you confidence

Italian soprano offers coaching of Italian Pronunciation for singers
As an Italian Opera singer, I help since many years singers with the right pronunciation of the repertoire they sing, helping them in shaping the language in a clear way, which also helps the singing. Our lesson will involve speaking, pronunciation exercises and singing. We will start the lesson by reading the text and finding the right direction and emphasis. We will focus on the sounds and how to produce them. In the second part of the lesson, we will apply all of the above to the singing!

Learn Italian from a Roman artist in Rotterdam - order your coffee like a pro
Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past twelve years. I have taught privately and at language schools like La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules. I speak a bunch of languages so I know a thing or two about how tedious language classes can be. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad book ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of those dialogues are carved in my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...” When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling and we will go on “talking walks” because when you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words. I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre (equivalent to an American MA) and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote a thesis about translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden and I tried to ride a horse across America.
