Speak Japanese fluently and confidently! Hello! My name is Chiharu and live in Osaka. I am a native speaker with a broad vocabulary. I enjoy traveling, movies, reading, gardening and eating ramen🍜. I love to communicate with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I've traveled to 45 of Japan's 47 prefectures, so I can recommend places to visit here. Outside of Japan, I’ve been to the United States, Canada, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Greece and Italy. I'd love to visit more places. Please share me some spots and food in your country. For over 10 years at universities, I have helped international students and improve their Japanese language skills, taught them Japanese customs, and supported them in making their lives in Japan smoother. I understand how difficult it can be to learn Japanese and get used to different customs. In my lessons, we’ll focus on practical Japanese conversation—whether it's for travel, daily life, or polite business settings. Planning a trip to Japan? I’ll make sure you’re fully prepared to navigate smoothly.  If you need Japanese for business, I can help you master polite language and cultural nuances to communicate confidently and respectfully. I will tailor lessons to fit your goals and needs, so we can enjoy learning Japanese together and reach the next level!

Chiharu-san is a great teacher! Her lessons are well-structured. I always know what to expect and study for the next lesson. She's very attentive and readily explains any concepts I don't understand and is eager to answer questions I have. After one month, I'm surprised by how much I know just from one hour a week with Chiharu-san! Definitely recommend!

Chiharu-san takes a log of your conversation in kana/kanji with Google Docs and gives you the document after the session. She also provides meaningful homework for extra value outside of the session. Aside from the great teaching, I am finding it very easy to talk to Chiharu-san. 10/10
