Me as a Teacher
I am often described by my students as a very easy to talk to teacher. I have had a lot of students take my classes. I have had many students take my classes, and they often say that I am easy to talk to.
I myself am interested in new things, different people's ways of thinking, different things, and different cultures, so I love to listen to what people have to say.
So, if you are not good at speaking and want to become good at it, I think a teacher like me is right for you.
My lessons & teaching style
Do you enjoy speaking in Japanese?
Do you worry about what you say or what mistakes you make when you speak?
If so, you should try my lessons!
When I was living in Australia and Canada before, I had this experience when speaking English with native speakers. So I understand how people who are studying Japanese and have this kind of problem feel.
I would like to find lessons that can help you and lessons that are right for you. I hope I can help you feel more confident when you come to Japan or when you talk to Japanese people!

Hiroya provided good feedback both oral and written. He did not interrupt me to provide corrections but waited till I was finished. He maintained a friendly, interested demeanour during the lesson.
ひろやさん’s lesson was very engaging and interesting. He brought great energy and vibe to the class with his big smile on his face. The time passes by really quickly with abundant of practice and knowledge.
Hiroya San is one of the best teachers! He is always friendly, professional and funny!!!! Thanks to Hiroya San, I have more courage to talk in Japanese!
