SHOYA

Shoya is a brilliant teacher! I’ve been having lessons for almost 2 years with Shoya and not only is he a great teacher but a cool friend! His knowledge is outstanding, if I am unsure of a word in Japanese I’ll say it in English and he can translate it straightaway. This allows me to continue speaking Japanese with little use for English! 今日もありがとうございます！　ショウヤ先生は本当に素晴らしい先生ですよ！　ショウヤのクラスは日本語を上手になりたい方がおすすめです！！またね〜

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!

There aren't many teachers who are so easy to converse with. No awkwardness, conversations flows easily, and teacher corrects me when i say something wrong.

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.

Thanks Shoya, great first lesson. I look forward to our lessons to come!

お疲れ！超楽しかった！次のレッスンでね！
