About Me
italki teacher since Invalid DateInterestsTravelTechFoodPets & AnimalsEnvironment & Nature
Hi, I’m Chihiro—a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, now living in Australia since 2016.
I used to work as a nurse because I’ve always loved helping people. Now, I live with my husband and our furry babies, enjoying a peaceful life surrounded by nature.
I love animals, walking in the outdoors, and trying new things. In fact, I’m currently learning Mandarin just for fun and to better understand Chinese culture. I’d love to explore even more languages in the future!
My favorite phrase is “Practice makes perfect”—because it’s true!
Nice to meet you, and I hope to see you soon in one of my lessons.
またねー :)Me as a Teacher
Hi! I’m Chihiro, a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, now living in Australia.
I’ve taught Japanese online for over 400 hours, supporting learners of all levels with personalized, friendly lessons.
My teaching goes beyond grammar—I help you understand culture, manners, and real-life expressions that make Japanese truly meaningful.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or preparing for JLPT, I’ll guide you step by step.
I also offer specialized lessons for travel, casual conversation.
Students often describe me as patient, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I personalize each lesson to match your pace and goals, so you can learn comfortably and confidently. My lessons & teaching style
Each lesson is designed to be relaxed, supportive, and effective. You’ll receive all materials in advance (vocab sheets, worksheets, etc.), and we’ll begin by reviewing what you learned last time. Then we’ll check new vocabulary, explore grammar with visual slides, and practice speaking in realistic, everyday situations. Lessons can be explained in English if needed, and kanji, listening, and reading support is available—especially helpful for JLPT prep!
If you prefer a fast-paced or demanding style, my lessons may not be ideal—but if you enjoy thoughtful conversation and gentle growth, I’d be happy to support your journey.My teaching material

Chihiro came prepared with learning material, which consisted of slides with pictures, hiragana/katakana, and romanji, so it was easy to quickly learn and absorb. Her lessons are not rigid, though, and she tailors the lesson based on your level and prior knowledge. Chihiro is very friendly and it was fun learning with her.
