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.

Lessons with Aya-sensei are always a lot of fun, and she gives me time to put my thoughts into words and explains new vocabulary to me. At the end, she goes over my major mistakes with me, which helps me pay more attention to them in the future.

Aya Sensei is an incredible teacher! She creates a warm and encouraging learning environment, tailoring each lesson to our pace and interests. Her explanations are clear, her patience is endless, and she makes learning Japanese both effective and fun. We've seen real progress in our skills thanks to her thoughtful guidance. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese! 🌸✨

A year and a half ago, I couldn't read a single hiragana character and I traveled around Japan saying どぞ instead of ども. Now I'm reading, writing, speaking, and actually understanding Japanese in real time. That transformation is thanks to Aya Sensei. ありがとございます Her teaching style is creative and fun. She's patient, encouraging, and brings real warmth to every session. A personal bonus: Aya Sensei loves animals, which means some of our best conversations have been about our inu and neko! If you're serious about learning Japanese and want a teacher who's as kind as she is skilled, Aya Sensei is the best.

Aya-sensei is a wonderful and welcoming teacher. She is supportive, understanding and flexible. She cheers you on when you succeed, and gently corrects mistakes without interrupting your train of thought. She makes grammar engaging through conversation, and her explanations incorporate both language rules and cultural elements. She creates a comfortable environment, making it a safe space to try even when you are unsure of your vocabulary and grammar structures. いつもありがとうございます！
