🌸 Hello! 🌸
I'm Chiho from Gifu, Japan!
I used to live in Australia on working holiday.
In my lessons, I focus on:
🎯 Fun learning!
🎯 Practical phrases you can use right away!
Lessons will move at your pace, making sure you feel comfortable and confident. 😊
We will work together to build your speaking confidence through real conversations and useful expressions you can use from day one!
Since I’m also a language learner (I'm studying English!), I truly understand the feelings of "I don't understand," "I can't speak," or "I’m not confident."
Don’t worry about making mistakes—it's part of learning!
I use free talk, games, and other act
Me as a Teacher
I currently teach Japanese to learners of all levels, from beginners to advanced.
In Japan, I worked as a registered nurse for five years, where I developed strong communication and teaching skills through mentoring junior staff.
Although I do not have formal experience in an educational institution, I have hands-on, practical teaching experience.
I am also learning English myself, so I fully understand the challenges, frustrations, and joys of learning a new language.
Because of this, I always aim to create a safe, supportive environment where students feel comfortable speaking and asking questions.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, we use structured textbooks and materials tailored to your goals to build practical Japanese skills.
I offer support for various needs, including conversation practice, grammar instruction, travel Japanese and business Japanese.
Lessons are designed to be relaxed yet effective, so you can feel comfortable making mistakes and focus on real-world communication.
Let’s work together to achieve your Japanese learning goals.

Thank you for another great lesson. Chiho is a very kind and patient teacher. She is great at making the conversation fun and interesting and always does a great job in explaining any new words or grammar points I am unsure of. I look forward to the next lesson!
