✍️ “Grammar feels too difficult…” Have you ever thought that?
→ With clear illustrations, you’ll quickly understand the meaning and usage.
When learning is fun, grammar is no longer scary!

→ I’ve taught over 3,000 lessons, mainly to beginners living in Japan.
I’ll also share real-life conversation tips and cultural insights you won’t find in textbooks.
✍️ Need exam prep? Leave it to me!
→ 100% JLPT pass rate! Over 60 learners passed N3 in just 1–6 months.
I’ll teach you the “answering strategies” so you can boost your score quickly.
My lessons & teaching style
What my students say:
🌸 Ms. M
“The lessons are fun and easy to enjoy, with lots of photos and illustrations. The teacher is very patient and skillfully guides the conversation. I’m truly happy to have met this teacher on this platform and to be learning Japanese.”
🌸 Mr. O
“I really love Chieko-sensei’s classes. She is incredibly kind, gently guides me to speak, and gives me lots of encouragement. I can truly feel my Japanese improving more and more. When there is no class, I miss seeing her.”
🌸 Mr. H
“For exam preparation, I can systematically study vocabulary, grammar, reading, and listening. When studying alone, I didn’t know where to start, so this has been a great help😊”
He tenido ya casi cuatro meses de clases con Chieko sensei, y he sentido bastante progreso. Chieko sensei es muy organizada y establece muy bien el ritmo de la clase y las prácticas. Además que las clases en español me dan mucha confianza. Super recomendada! 🍐✨

I’ve been studying Japanese with Chieko-san, and we’ve been working through Genki II lesson 13 together. She’s a fantastic tutor, always patient, encouraging, and very clear in her explanations.
She creates a comfortable environment to speak, which has really helped me build confidence, especially since I struggle with speaking. Her lessons are well structured and also flexible depending on what I need to work on.
