Outsourcing: Ayano
Ayano Maramba's services have been accessible to Luisa Language Teaching students since 2020, shortly after she moved to the United States from Japan. Back home in Okinawa, Ayano worked at Kadena Air Base, which was an enlightening experience for her. She loved working in a multicultural environment, and gladly seized the chance to continue sharing her knowledge and life experience as a Japanese native with all students here in America.
Ayano holds an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education from Shogakuin International Business Academy (尚学院国際ビジネスアカデミー) and is currently pursuing further education. She is fluent in English and is available for inquiries in both languages.
