Canadian Teachers
All our lessons are led by certified Canadian teachers, giving you the chance to learn authentic, natural English from native speakers, which can not only help you develop natural language skills but also a deeper understanding of Canadian culture at the same time. 🍁
Customized Lessons for Japanese Students
Over the years, we have closely studied the cultural nuances and the unique learning challenges Japanese learners face. By offering customized lessons, we can focus on overcoming the specific obstacles to Japanese learners such as R/L pronunciation and sentence structure, helping students effectively gain confidence and fluency in everyday English.
Take Home Lesson Summaries
At the end of each lesson, you’ll receive a personalized PDF summary that you can review which includes your complete corrected sentences (what you said and how to say it better), grammar tips, and the vocabulary suggestions we’ve covered. It’s your own take-home study guide to ensure that we are tracking your progress with every class.

Hello! I’m Manal, the founder of Maple Kaiwa, a
Canada-based online English conversation platform providing fun and effective English lessons to Japanese learners.
As a Canadian with Lebanese and Filipino roots, I’ve seen how powerful communication can be when forming connections and seeking greater opportunities. From supporting communities abroad to my years of teaching English to Japanese students, I am passionate about helping you unlock every potential and 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.
Maple Kaiwa was created with you in mind.

No matter where you are in life, Maple Kaiwa makes learning English feel easy, comfortable and made just for you.

Here’s what students think about Manal!

2回目のマナル先生でした。
1回目（フリートークレッスン）にて自己紹介やお互いの話をしたので今回何の話をしよう、話が盛り上がらなかったらどうしようと少し不安がありましたが、
マナル先生は事前にお題（今回は「インターネット」）とそのお題に関する質問をたくさん用意しててくださり、たくさん会話ができました！
回答に詰まってもサポートしてくださり、本当にとても有意義な時間でした✨
最後の5分間で1回目と同様私のミスしていた文やよりナチュラルな言い回しを教えてくださりました！
本当に本当に素敵な先生で一番大好きです！💕💕💕

明るくてフレンドリーで、とにかくよく褒めてくれる先生です。特に自信を失っている方にお勧めだと思います(笑)
聞き上手で話しやすい雰囲気を作るのがうまい先生だと思います。楽しく会話することができました。なるべくこちらがたくさん話せるように気遣って下さっている感じがしました。
レッスン中、こちらの言い間違いや文法間違いなどをタイピングして下さり、レッスン後にワードで送って下さいました。非常に勉強になります。
比較的新しい先生ですが、人気の理由が分かる気がしました。ぜひまた受けたい先生です。

新年最初のレッスンにふさわしい、外見だけでなく内面もとても明るく素敵な先生でした。レッスン中は一生懸命こちらの話を聞き、ポジティブな言葉を使い、レッスン後には、間違えたセンテンスを訂正して送ってくれる真面目な姿勢に恐れ入りました。もっと頑張ろうと、モチベーションが上がりました。

・ネイティブの方が話す英語に対するリスニング力を向上させたい
・正確な言い回しを身に着けたいので，違和感のある表現があったら正してほしい
という２点要望をしたところ，的確に指導してくれました．
レッスンの最後に，Better sentenceをチャットで教えてくれ，
文法のミスやニュアンスの違いを解説とともに
とてもわかりやすく指摘してくれます．reviewの際に非常に助かります．
