SHOYA

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.

The amount I learn every lesson is unprecedented and amazing. I always feel like I gain a lot after my lessons and I recommend booking a lesson 100%.

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!

きょうもおつかれ！きょうはいろいろ話したね！日本文化とアメリカ文化の違いとか、会社の環境など、全部おもしろかった！また次のレッスンでね。勉強もがんばるからね！

Shoya is amazing to talk to and extremely fun. He provides so many good topics and discussions for our lessons that I always have a really fun time. Highly recommended.

Shoya provides a lot of good topics and questions to talk about during our lessons! I think anyone would benefit from him, and he does such a perfect job in explaining vocabulary and grammar so that you can learn and understand it. Highly recommended!
