What Our Japanese Students Say
“Ayaka is a fantastic Japanese teacher. Her excellent English makes it easy to understand Japanese grammar and nuances. She’s not just professional in different areas of Japanese — from business to daily conversation — but also very kind and encouraging.”
“I have been taking Japanese lessons here for about 3 months. My instructor, Ayaka, is very kind and attentive to beginners. I have learned a lot of Japanese compared to when I first started.”
“A dedicated teacher and plenty of additional learning materials were provided. The teacher always goes above and beyond in explaining cultural context during lessons. Sooo fascinating!!!”
