🌻Aim for proficiency, not perfection🌻Happy to help with your learning journey! こんにちは。Chi です。私のプロフィールを読んでくださり、ありがとうございます🌸茨城県のド田舎に住んでいて、子供が3人います。(ド田舎➡とても いなか です(笑) )でも、海と山があり、とても素敵なところです。 2026年3月まで中学校で英語の非常勤講師をしていました。これからは日本を教えることでもっと世界の人と繋がりたいと思うようになりました。私も英語を長年勉強していますから、第二外国語として勉強する大変さ、英語と日本語の違いもよく分かります。 私のレッスンでは、あなたがリラックスしてたくさん話せるような雰囲気作りを大切にしています。友達のような感じで、あなたの話を聞かせてくださいね。あなたのゴールに向かって、一緒にレッスン作りをしていきましょう。 テキストを使いたい方は、「GENKI1&2」や、オンラインテキストの「いろどり」を使うこともできます。 たくさん間違えても大丈夫!私もそうやって英語を勉強しています。「自分の文をたくさん作ること」がとても大切です。なるべく私は すぐに正解を言いません、あなたが自分で間違いに気が付いて、直していけるよう、お手伝いします! I have taught English at a Junior high-school in Japan for 6 years, and I started teaching Japanese since 2024 to connect more people from different countries. Having studied the teaching process in depth, I am able to make use of that experience to teach Japanese as well. I'm cheerful, easy-going and passionate both teaching and learning. Please share your experiences with me through studying Japanese together. We will have lots of conversation-based lessons and I will take notes if there's any tips, mistakes or more natural sentences during our conversation. Also, I can customize lessons according to how you would like learn, so please let me know! I can use textbook called GENKI if you already have one. Also, I can use online text book called IRODORI, which contains lots of useful expressions if you are planning to visit or live in Japan. When it is hard to understand only in Japanese, I can partly use English for your deeper understanding.

チー先生 has been amazing in teaching me Japanese and adapting to my ever-changing goals. Thanks to her I was able to learn valuable Japanese that helped make my visit to Japan even more enjoyable and a great learning opportunity. Now I am excited to continue working with her to speak more everyday Japanese with the new friends I have made. She is always prepared for our lessons and outlines what we will be working on. She shares many example sentences to practice with and guides me as I attempt to make my own, offering gentle corrections and explanations. I am given recommendations on what I can work on and how to practice to make the most of my Japanese lessons. If you are looking for a prepared, knowledgeable, kind, and encouraging teacher, I highly recommend taking a lesson with チーさん :)

Chi-san's lessons are so fun. She always explains things in a way that I can understand, and takes notes each lesson for me to study with. I also enjoy using the Irodori Textbook with her. I can feel my confidence in speaking improving with each lesson!

Chi has been great at adjusting what we learn based on my goals. She was able to easily switch from teaching useful concepts and phases for a short trip to Japan, to more detailed explanations of grammar and it use. I was given lots of opportunity to practice in class and homework to work on between sessions. Chi also shared guidance on how to make the most of my own self-study sessions. As always she was professional, friendly, and encouraging! I am looking forward to continuing our lessons! ありがとう!また来週 チ先生!

Chiharu is always so thoughtful and prepares a great lesson for me. She gives great examples, and then has me practice using the grammar point. She is an amazing teacher!

The teacher and lesson were great but there was a problem with the Italki app and we were not able to see one another.
