SHOYA

To anyone looking for a fun and easygoing way to learn Japanese. I recommend Shoya. He has a really relaxed style and it feels like you are just chatting with a friend. He brings a comfortable vibe to each lesson, and give gentle corrections when I make mistakes and even goes above and offers a more casual way to say things. I never feel bad when I make a mistake. One of the best parts learning with him is he will keep you up-to-date with the latest slang, casual expressions or what is trending in Japan. If youre looking for a teacher that is chil, supportive and genuinely enjoyable to chat with, I recommend Shoya.

I always enjoy my lessons with Shoya! He's super easy to talk to and he's great at keeping the conversation flowing. Our conversations are always fun and interesting. He's able to explain things very well and give examples when I need help. He's also very encouraging and gives good advice. I definitely feel more confident in my speaking after our lessons. Highly recommend!

先ず、テストはうまくいったといいね。やっと今はのんびりできるね！　いい結果が出るといいけど。このレッスンがビジネスの内容について一番深かったと思います。それは、本当に楽しい経験でした。次のレッスンは楽しみにしている。また土曜日ですね！いつも通り、ありがとうございます Firstly, I hope your test went smoothly. Now you can finally relax! I hope you receive a good result, though. I think this lesson was the deepest we've had about business topics. That was truely a fun experience for me. Im looking forward to our next lesson. See you again Sunday! As always, thank you very much.

I have been taking lesson with Shoya for more than 1 year. Originally, I wanted to find someone who could help me improve my Japanese conversational ability, plus go beyond casual topics, and be able to talk about more higher-level topics that any adult with a university degree should be able to discuss at a non-discern level. Through conversation with Shoya, he has helped me gain confidence in my own conversational ability, as well as be able to hold a conversation with a native speaker. Though I know that I still have a long way to go, but I can't help but thanks Shoya enough for his patience to sit through listening to my sometimes incomprehensible Japanese, but as well as the diligence to keep me on my toes with new words, vocabularies, and phrases that are highly useful. I highly recommend Shoya to any Japanese language learners who wishes to improve on their conversational ability with a native speaker.

またいいレッスンをありがとうございました！ いつも話すのが楽しい！毎回レッスンのときは、時間がかなり早い感じる 最近、日本語で話したり理解したりするのが少し楽になってきたけど、まだまだ道のりは長いね これまで日本語が上達したのは、このレッスンが役に立ったからだと思う 来週にいろんなことについてはなすのを楽しみにしてる！ Thank you for another good lesson! I always have fun talking with you. Everytime I have a lesson with you, I feel like time passes faily fast. Lately, speaking and understanding Japanese has become a little easier, however I still have a long way to go. I think my Japanese has improved up until now because these lessons have been so useful. I'm looking forward to talking about many things with you next week!

Shoya is great! He always takes a genuine interest in what I do, and I have the most fun time talking to him! If you struggle with a word or a phrase, he's always able to help and provide assistance with what you're wanting to say. He also provides all of the chat logs to use and study with! Overall one of the best teachers I have!
