SHOYA

I always enjoy my lessons with Shoya! He's super easy to talk to and he's great at keeping the conversation flowing. Our conversations are always fun and interesting. He's able to explain things very well and give examples when I need help. He's also very encouraging and gives good advice. I definitely feel more confident in my speaking after our lessons. Highly recommend!

I’ve had over 30 classes with Shoya and I genuinely look forward to each one. I like to book hour sessions because the time goes so fast!! Such a great teacher and all round good person! 10/10 recommend his classes if you’re looking to improve your Japanese! You won’t regret it! I certainly haven’t. いつも教えてくれてありがとうございます♪

今日の授業ありがとうございます。また日本語で色んな話題について喋ることができたのは良かった。「民主主義」や「独裁」や「砦」など珍しく使われるが大切な単語が習えたのは本当に良かった。次の授業は一緒にニュースを読むつもりということは楽しみだ！ I highly recommend taking lessons with Shoya. In my case I already can speak Japanese at intermediate level, so it's very important to me to finally break away from grammar guidebooks and Anki decks and start using natural Japanese. If this sounds like you, don't hesitate to take lessons with Shoya, he's very easy to talk to and always ready to rephrase anything you don't understand into simpler terms, or provide better ways of saying what you want to say. Along with teaching you new vocabulary that is actually used in real life Japanese. This is invaluable for becoming more confident about speaking Japanese.

The amount I learn every lesson is unprecedented and amazing. I always feel like I gain a lot after my lessons and I recommend booking a lesson 100%.

今日のレッスンもありがとうございます。いつも通り将弥さんのことや日本の慣習について習ったり必死に何も日本語で記述したりする機会は最も楽しい。 Thank you for today's lesson. As always, it's so much fun learning about you and the customs in Japan as I struggle desperately to describe everything in Japanese!

Shoya is always awesome and helps me every lesson with understanding certain words, phrases, grammar, etc.! I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to have conversation practice and to learn a lot about the Japanese language!
