I have studied with Saya Sensei for over a month now. I really appreciate her energy, and how excited she gets when I understand something or try to use it in another context. I feel comfortable asking questions to help with my comprehension, and the pace is very good. I do not feel like I am being rushed, dragged along, or held back. I can highly recommend her as a teacher.

I’ve been studying with さや先生 for many months now, and each lesson strikes a perfect balance of structure and fun. We work steadily through our textbook, and she always shows up with extra slides and content to support the learning. It’s clear she genuinely cares about my progress; she remembers my goals and checks in on them every session. And what really stands out is her encouragement, when I finally get a tricky grammar point right, she celebrates with a big smile and cheers that makes the win feel even better! She also never hesitates when I steer the conversation toward cultural topics—regional food, holidays, pop culture—always finding a way to connect my curiosity back to the language. If you’re looking for a tutor who’s organized, engaging, and truly invested in your Japanese journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Saya さや先生!

Another great lesson with Saya-sensei. My revised study schedule for Kanji is really paying off!👍🏻

Just after my first lesson with her, I could tell she's passionate about her teaching. She was so excited whenever I got even the smallest, thing right, was happy to talk about interests that we shared and was very patient when I didn't get something immediately. Recommend her to anyone ^v^

A great lesson with Saya-sensei, as always. I feel my reading AND my kanji retention has greatly improved!

A great lesson with Saya-sensei. Reading practice is really helping me learn and remember kanji! 👍🏻
