Chie-sensei is a wonderful teacher! She is very kind, helpful and extremely patient. Each lesson, is extremely professional and is also created around her individual students strengths and weaknesses in the language - this ensures that the best progress is made of their ability! I have had 3 lessons now with Chie-sensei and look forward to the many more to come 😊

I have been taking regular weekly lessons with Chie-san for several months now. She is a very conscientious teacher and will answer your questions thoroughly. We have a system where I can put down questions that I have in advance and she will go through them at the next lesson. She always has well-prepared answers that she explains well. She is also very approachable such that you feel comfortable asking her anything. She is also mindful of where you are at in your language study and will cater her lessons to meet your needs (eg she incorporates short conversations in our lessons to help me with my speaking ability). I really enjoy my lessons with her!

I’ve been studying Japanese with Chie for almost a year now. She was the first tutor I found, but I lucked out and I would not think to look elsewhere. She is always pleasant to talk to, dependable, and on time to every session. She understands the difficulties of this language that makes it challenging to learn, and we will go over those challenges until they are locked in. Could not recommend her enough.

My lessons with Chie-sensei are always productive and engaging. I have been studying her for over two years. While I am a slow student, Chie-sensei's patience is extraordinary; she always guides me and repeats items as necessary, without any impatience or annoyance. What's more, at the end of every class, I feel refreshed and enthusiastic and ready to continue my day with new energy. Highly recommended!

Chie is a fantastic teacher with Japanese, helping me understand the language in a way that broadens my vocabulary, lets me understand the grammar and give context to what I'm trying to communicate, in a friendly and approachable way. Highly recommended!

Good lesson especially to help learn the mannerisms and nuances of the culture and language.
