I'm a friendly, certified Japanese teacher with over 9 years of experience. I love anime, manga, and traveling! I've explored many places, so we can talk about your favorite series or your travel plans to Japan. I speak Japanese with a standard accent, so my Japanese is very clear and easy to understand. I also speak English, so if you have zero knowledge of the Japanese language, that's perfectly okay! Learning a new language is a challenge. One day you might feel like giving up, and another day you might feel like starting again. I want you to feel that you are not forced to "study," but rather enjoy using Japanese in real conversation. Let’s have fun together!

I’ve been taking Japanese lessons with Shinya-san for over a year, starting as a beginner and now speaking conversationally. He is a fantastic teacher at any level. Every lesson is well prepared and tailored to what you want to achieve. Now that I can hold conversations, I’m consistently impressed by how he keeps the discussion in Japanese at exactly the right level — natural, engaging, and perfectly paced. Shinya-san is friendly, patient, and makes lessons enjoyable as well as productive. I would strongly recommend him to anyone serious about learning to actually use Japanese.

I have been learning Japanese with Shinya Sensei for exactly two years now and I just want to share a little bit about my experience. Every lesson has been really enjoyable. Shinya Sensei communicates clearly and his manner is friendly and relaxed. I also appreciate that Shinya Sensei uses different kinds of resources and that he will adapt the lesson according to my needs. Sensei also uses a shared Google Doc where he makes notes that I can review. I can also make sentences here and receive feedback. I can honestly say that I don’t find speaking Japanese easy and I am prone to getting nervous and having my mind go blank! However, Shinya Sensei is always patient and he encourages me to keep trying. He is also great at explaining things and he corrects my mistakes in a positive way. If you are looking for a Sensei who is professional, engaging, patient and fun - definitely book with Shinya Sensei. 先生、ありがとうございました。

It is always a great pleasure having classes with Sensei! With your great patience and continuous practice with you in each class, now I could speak more and more Japanese! I hope I could have more time studying continuously and hope by the end of next year I could conduct Japanese conversations very fluently and hope I could also good discussions with my clients in Japanese by then.
