Our Team
Konno Sensei
Japanese Instructor
Born and raised in Japan, I moved to Canada in 2019 and have been teaching Japanese ever since. I love connecting with people and sharing my culture through language. My lessons focus on practical, natural Japanese that learners can use in real-life situations, while keeping the atmosphere warm and enjoyable. In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, anime, and TV shows, and I also love playing tennis. I look forward to learning and growing together with you.
Sienna Sensei
Japanese Instructor
At 18, Binbin moved from Nanjing, China to Japan, where she lived and studied for seven years. In Japan, she was a language instructor which deepened her understanding of language learners’ needs. Her Japanese lessons emphasize practical communication, cultural context, and everyday expressions. With her warm teaching style, she makes learning approachable and enjoyable. In her free time, Binbin loves hiking and reading detective novels, bringing curiosity and energy to her classes.
