Tomoya sensei is kind, polite, and interested in other cultures. Speaks in a clear voice and listens well, provides typed material in kana or kanji depending on the student. Would highly recommend his conversation class for intermediate-ish level students who want to practice talking about a lot of different topics, but not feel intimidated by kanji reading ability or whether they know all the right vocabulary.
