Saya-sensei is wonderful! She’s friendly, energetic, and treats you like you’ve already become good friends! She offers many kinds of lessons, but I like to have free talk lessons with Saya-sensei. I used to be nervous to practice Japanese, but Saya-sensei makes it so much fun, it’s like I’m just talking to a friend while still learning and practicing my Japanese!

I’ve been studying with さや先生 for many months now, and each lesson strikes a perfect balance of structure and fun. We work steadily through our textbook, and she always shows up with extra slides and content to support the learning. It’s clear she genuinely cares about my progress; she remembers my goals and checks in on them every session. And what really stands out is her encouragement, when I finally get a tricky grammar point right, she celebrates with a big smile and cheers that makes the win feel even better! She also never hesitates when I steer the conversation toward cultural topics—regional food, holidays, pop culture—always finding a way to connect my curiosity back to the language. If you’re looking for a tutor who’s organized, engaging, and truly invested in your Japanese journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Saya さや先生!

When I first came to italki, I was overwhelmed by the number of tutor options, but really—just stop your search and go with さや先生. She’s fantastic! Working with さや先生 has been an absolute pleasure. Not only have I learned a great deal about the Japanese language, but I've also gained valuable insights into daily life in Japan. さや先生 creates custom lesson plans that are perfectly tailored to my level, ensuring that each session is both challenging and enjoyable (and often funny!). She encourages and guides me with a balanced approach, correcting my mistakes while keeping me motivated to improve. If you're interested in learning 日本語, さや先生 is the one to help you get there.

In this most recent lesson, I realized that learning kanji has increased my reading comprehension. Saya-sensei’s patience is always appreciated!😊

This lesson, Saya-sensei and I studied words and phrases involved with hotel stays. Interesting and very helpful!
