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!

I have been learning Japanese with Saya Sensei for almost a year now. I’m still really enjoying our lessons and I feel like my Japanese is always improving. She is very kind and adapts lessons to what I want, not what she wants to do which I appreciate. I can recommend her as a teacher for anyone who wishes to learn Japanese.

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^

Saya-san is very encouraging when I get many exercises right and very patient when I am less good. She always starts lessons with a little chat about each other, and I find it fun! You can tell that she is actually happy when I read Japanese smoothly. I recommend her to anyone who wishes to learn Japanese!

Saya-san is a very kind and relaxed teacher. You can always feel that she truly enjoys teaching. I always love my lessons with her, one of the reasons being that there is absolutely no pressure to become better. She goes at your own pace.
