I find the lessons paced well and Chisato san checks in with me after new phrases and grammar to see if I am understanding. She clarifies things well when I have questions and is an enthusiastic teacher.

This teacher is not only extremely dedicated in class, but also very kind and graceful. She takes each lesson seriously, and outside of class, when I ask her questions, she responds with great patience and careful thought. I truly enjoy the time I spend learning with her, and I look forward to making even greater progress in the future. Thank you so much.

Chisato-sensei is a wonderful teacher! She is so kind and genuinely cares about my progress. She creates such a warm, supportive atmosphere that makes learning Japanese feel completely stress-free and fun. Her lessons are well-structured, and she provides plenty of great learning materials. I especially appreciate how well she documents everything during our class and creates great notes, which makes reviewing afterward so easy and helpful. I always look forward to our lessons!
