こんにちは!I’m Chihaya, your tutor to *authentic* Japanese — straight from Tokyo’s suburbs 🗾 As a language lover (English B1-B2, German A1-A2), I get the struggles of learning new languages. My 2 years in London taught me how to bridge cultures — just like I’ll help you do with Japanese! *Why learn with me?* ✅ *Tokyo-native accent* + insider cultural tips (beyond textbooks!). I’ll help you improve your Japanese pronunciation. ✅ *Traveler’s mindset* I’ll help you prepare for real-life Japan, including interpersonal distance, shrine etiquette, train etiquette. etc ・Lessons are mainly conducted in Japanese with English explanations. ・You will learn *Tokyo-standard* Japanese pronunciation. ・I am *patient* and a good listener, supportive environment where you can speak comfortably. 🔰 For beginners / elementary learners: ・Hiragana and Katakana – Reading, Writing, and Pronunciation 🗣️ ・Basic Grammar, Vocabulary, Expressions ・Lessons mainly use textbooks and include quizzes 🗣️ For intermediate learners (conversation only): ・Expanding your speaking skills naturally 🗣️ ・Improving listening comprehension👂 ・Topic-based discussions, Free conversation ✈️For travel to Japan✈️ ・Role-plays based on different travel situations ・Travel-focused textbooks ⭐️Finally…⭐️ In the trial lesson, I will listen to your goals and customize a lesson plan that suits you. I will provide all necessary materials, so you don’t need to prepare anything!

Chihaya Sensei is an incredible teacher. She is always patient and kind, providing support when I get lost. She always have great materials to work on that bring variety but also focus on improving vocabulary around specific themes. Sometimes I drift the lesson towards culture or make an informal conversation and she always engage. I feel like her lessons give me a great place to practice vocabulary, grammar and general conversation. I don't feel shy trying with her. Warmly recommended!

Chi-sensei is amazing! Please don't hesitate to book a lesson with her. She's incredibly patient and encouraging to her students. It was only my first lesson with her but I've already booked another. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and I was able to speak Japanese in a way that I've never been able to in the hour that I spent with her. 先生のクラスを予約してください。 You won't be disappointed!
