Hello! Konnichiwa.
My name is Sayaka. I'm a native Japanese speaker and certified Japanese tutor with 6 year's experience.
I was born and raised in Hyogo, Japan and graduated from Kyoto University of Foreign Studies with BA. I majored British and American languages and worked in the Overseas Sales Division of Japanese Electric company in Tokyo.
I taught children in language school in Bermuda and middle/high school students in private school in NY. I completed a course for a Japanese teacher...
Reviews
Yesterday, we reviewed frequency verbs and created sentences with them. We also reviewed verbs from the previous lessons and combined everything so I was able to describe my week! Thank you!

This week we went over the particle ?mo? and how to use it in conversation like ?watashi mo?. We also practiced more conversational phrases and how to say ?suki jenai desu?!! Thank you!!!

Yesterday, I learned how to ask and tell time. We went back and forth practicing and eventually I was able to read the time of a clock! We also practiced more helpful phrases like ?what do you like??!! Thank you!!

Yesterday, we learned the particle ?no? and how to use it. We went back and forth practicing a conversational dialogue with the new phrases I learned! I also learned how to type in Japanese! :)

Yesterday we went over like/dislike phrases and numbers! It was challenging at first for me, but eventually I got the hang of it! We also practiced how to introduce myself in writing!!

Today, we went over numbers which seemed intimidating at first but Sayaka San explained it carefully! We also went over another useful phrase and practiced writing as well. Thank you!!

On Tuesday I had my second lesson, we went over helpful vocabulary and I learned how to introduce myself in depth. Sayaka San explained everything thoroughly and cleared up any questions I had. Thank you!!
- Giuliana F. from New Rochelle, NY
Thank you so much!! I was nervous going into the lesson being completely new to Japanese, but Sayaka san broke everything down and made it very understandable. Looking forward to the next session!

Sakaya-san listened carefully and crafted a beautiful track for me to pursue, while I learn. She was exact and had loads of solid advice. We went over the basics, she understood my proficiency level, and brought forth viable learning materials; textbooks and workbooks, upon her assessment.

We are very grateful to have found Sayaka on Wyzant! She is very knowledgeable and well spoken. My daughter has been trying to learn Japanese on her own for the past few years. She has just started with Sayaka and is very excited to be working with her!

Sayaka-sensei is teaching our 8 and 10 year old kids how to write and speak Japanese. My kids rave about how fun learning Japanese is with her. They can't wait for their next class. I highly recommend.
- David P. from Harrison, NY
Sayaka sensei is very knowledgeable of Japanese both in theory and in daily applications. I strongly recommend her to anyone who plans to live in Japan for an extended period or who needs to visit Japan frequently for business. Her approaches in teaching Japanese are highly effective and practical.
- Joseph K. from West New York, NJ
She?s teaching me a lot. I love the rate of speed of each lesson. She?s an excellent teacher. Gives good homework and is quite clear. The lessons are fun and I feel confident that I?ll learn and speak well.
