I highly recommend taking Japanese lessons with Tomoya-sensei. He is a fanatastic teacher and it is great learning with him. He is very diligent in his lessons and always happy to answer questions and you get a lot of chance to practice your reading, listening and speaking skills. Furthermore, his structured course and approach to learning grammar and vocabulary with an exercise book is extremely valuable and you always feel you learn a lot from each and every lesson.

Tomoya-sensei always takes the time to listen and correct my not-so-good Japanese, and I am very grateful for that! Keep up the good work sensei!
