Today marks my 10th lesson with Aya-sensei. Every lesson has been an absolute joy with lots of learning, patience and discussions. I always look forward to our lessons & I am motivated to do my best in class. Aya-sensei provides many ways of learning Japanese from quizes (often featuring very surprising, but always enjoyable character cameos from across pop culture), roleplaying scenarios to practice spoken conversation and reading and writing exercises. I highly recommend Aya-sensei as your next tutor for learning Japanese!!

I've been studying with Aya-sensei every week for over half a year now. I'm continually impressed with Aya-sensei's ability to always challenge me without making it too difficult or too easy. Progress is steady and I can sincerely recommend Aya-sensei to anyone who wishes to improve their Japanese.

La sensei Aya parla molto bene l'italiano, è molto gentile, mette a proprio agio senza essere cedevole nella richiesta di impegno. Nella lezione di prova ha già proprosto un piano di studi e indicato testi, fornito materiale e dato un feedback sul mio livello. Grazie mille!
