Hi everyone! I’m a cheerful and energetic teacher from Hokkaido!
What I value most is enjoying the process of language learning. With my experience as a Japanese teacher, my own language learning journey, and what I studied in university about communication, I tailor each lesson to fit the individual needs of my students and create a comfortable environment for conversation.
I’m looking forward to supporting your Japanese learning journey. See you soon in my class!

The class with Hiyori Sensei was very nice. I usually feel very nervous when speaking Japanese and she made me feel very comfortable and prepared a lot of material to make the class go smoothly and fun. I really enjoy learning with her!
She encourages a lot of conversation and responds with empathy and enthusiasm, so it’s easy to talk with her. She also teaches me many useful expressions that match my study goals. It’s been really helpful!
Her lessons are always satisfying. You can tell she prepares thoroughly and conducts each class with care. She teaches useful and frequently used expressions. Highly recommended!
Hiyori-sensei’s lessons are always so fun—I look forward to every class. I want to continue learning Japanese with her for a long time.
韓国に帰国してきてから日本語能力が落ちてるのが悩みでしたが、ひより先生のおかげで毎日楽しく頑張っています!たくさん教えていただけますし、元気をくれる先生です! After returning to Korea, I was worried that my Japanese skills had declined, but thanks to Hiyori-sensei, I’m now enjoying studying every day! She teaches me so much and always gives me great energy!
Thanks to Hiyori-sensei’s positive energy in every class, I’ve started enjoying reviewing and self-study after lessons! She corrects my sentences with accurate expressions and always gives easy-to-understand examples. She’s such a passionate teacher! I’ve never had a teacher who communicates so well. Because of her, I realized for the first time that I prefer fun, interactive lessons over textbook-style ones. Hiyori-sensei is simply the best…❤️
