No Panic, It's Chika

Chika San was super helpful! She was asking very good questions to understand my learning goals and also discussing strategies to develop lessons. I am very happy with my teacher and confident that I will develop good Japanese speaking skills.

Chika is always very welcoming and helpful! She really makes you feel comfortable to speak and make mistakes, and is quick to correct them in a very respectful, natural way. If you are interested in learning real, natural Japanese with one of the best teachers on this platform, take a lesson with Chika!

Chika San does excellent review of older lessons and also clear explanations of why and how anything is said.

Chika is an energetic, joyful teacher who makes every lesson genuinely fun and engaging. Conversations feel natural and relaxed, which makes it easy to speak and inspires me to use new grammar. What truly sets her apart is how she corrects mistakes. Her corrections are clear, encouraging and motivating. Learning always feels positive. Her wonderful balance of warmth and precision makes her an exceptional language teacher. I always leave her classes feeling more confident. I highly recommend her for Japanese learners of all ages.

Wonderful lesson each time. We have creative dialogue practice which helps me understand not only conversational Japanese but also the cultural understanding and know how.

I always have a lot of fun in Chika sensei's class. She is able to naturally guide conversations at a level that I can understand and is able to correct my mistakes when speaking. She is able to explain the nuances of different usage of grammar/vocabulary when speaking Japanese and is able to give easily understandable examples. She is also able to teach the natural pronunciation of words and how does Japanese native speakers use certain phrases for different situations. I enjoyed her classes a lot and I highly recommend Chika sensei for your Japanese learning journey
