      Native Certified Japanese Tutor with 7 years of experience — Hello, konnichiwa! My name is Sayaka.
      I am originally from Kobe, Japan, but currently living in the US. I have a bachelor's degree in British and American languages and completed a course for a Japanese teacher training program in NYC. I have taught elementary, middle and high school in NY.

      Why choose Sayaka A.

      "I have had 2 lessons and am enjoying them greatly so far. Sayaka san provides a natural, conversational flow to the lessons with helpful slides and visual aids. Her approach makes it easy (relatively speaking) to find connections in the language patters so that future lessons may become more intuitive as you progress. It is really fun to learn the language and culture from a native Japanese speaker, especially one so upbeat and friendly :) Arigato Gozaimasu."
