I’m Manal, the founder of Maple Kaiwa, a Canadian platform dedicated to helping Japanese learners master English in a fun and engaging way! As a Canadian with Lebanese and Filipino roots, I’ve seen how powerful communication can be. From supporting communities abroad to my years of teaching English to Japanese students, I am passionate about helping others unlock every opportunity life has to offer.

My mission at Maple Kaiwa is simple: To help Japanese learners build confidence in English through engaging cultural exchange. Our vision is to connect Canadian tutors & Japanese learners with lessons that feel like real conversations instead of classrooms.

At Maple Kaiwa, we don’t just teach English; we aim to build a community of learners who feel supported and inspired. We will not only focus on grammar and vocabulary, but also on social conversation, confidence, and the cultural nuances that make language truly come to life.
