Hi, I’m Chihiro—a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, now living in Australia since 2016.
I used to work as a nurse because I’ve always loved helping people.
My hobbies are learning different languages and subjects, yoga, playing with animals, travelling. I thrive on making incremental progress toward my goals.
My favourite phrase is “Practice makes perfect”—because it’s true!
Nice to meet you, and I hope to see you soon in one of my lessons.

I’ve taught Japanese online for 3yrs, supporting learners of beginner levels. (Using Minna no Nihongo)
My lessons use visual slides to explain practical Japanese in a clear and structured way.
When needed, I also provide English explanations and examples to make everything easy to follow.
Students often describe me as patient, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I personalize each lesson to match your pace and goals, so you can learn comfortably and confidently.
Trial Lesson
In our trial lesson, I will gently assess your Japanese level and understand what you want to achieve.
I will also show you clear slides so you know exactly where we will begin.
If you are complete beginner, you are start learning self-introduction.
About My Lessons
• We learn new vocabulary and how to use it naturally
• If there are verbs, we review the verb conjugations together
• We quickly review what you learned in the previous lesson
• We learn new grammar step by step
• We practice speaking using the new grammar and vocabulary
She is a very good teacher. She understands English well, likely because of her time in Australia, which makes her explanations very clear and easy to follow. During the lesson, she prepared pictures and quizzes, and we were able to review them together in an engaging way. I would definitely like to continue to book lessons with her again, as she is an excellent fit for my needs as someone who needs help reviewing the basics.

Chihiro is a great teacher. Is very good at explaining complicated grammar rules to make them understandable with examples. Always feel more confident with my Japanese capabilities after a lesson with her.

As an older (61yrs) language learner Chihiro has been great. She has a relaxed casual style that puts my output anxiousness at ease. She guides me and explains grammar and vocabulary well and keeps me stretching to understand more of the language. When I get a new grammar concept or new vocab correct she is truly happy which shows her passion to teach and care for her students. I can’t wait for my next Japan trip to put what she has helped me learn into my daily conversations.

Chihiro San’s classes are very interactive and engaging. She is incredibly patient and teaches at a pace that I am comfortable with, always checking that I have understood before moving on to a new topic. She is very encouraging, and learning with her is always so much fun.

Loved my trial with Chihiro San. She is friendly and patient. Actively listened to my goals and provided advice on how I can achieve and learn Japanese. I would highly recommend Chihiro San and I am booking more sessions.
