こんにちは！I’m Chihaya, your guide to *authentic* Japanese—straight from Tokyo’s suburbs! 🗾
As a language lover (English B2, German A1-A2), I *get* the struggles of learning a new language. 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 fine-tune your Japanese pronunciation!
✓ **Traveler’s mindset**: From karaoke phrases to train etiquette, I prep you for *real* Japan.Me as a Teacher

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!
