I focus on communication and provide gentle, encouraging corrections.

I have studied Japanese with Chiaki-san for around 3 years now and it has always been very fun. The lessons have greatly improved my communication skills. Chiaki-san will always help when you do not understand a word or a sentence and it is very easy to talk to her. Very much recommended. Thanks for the lessons!

I have been with Chiaki for 3 years now! Chiaki is a great teacher who helps me a lot with my Japanese! She is very knowledgeable in teaching others and has many methods of teaching, from speaking to reading and so on. And she is so fun to learn from! I enjoy every listen with Chiaki and I hope to learn with her for a long time!

The lessons focus on a bit of grammar and then practical usage. Chiaki is very patient and there's always room for casual conversations.

I appreciate how Chiaki sensei can be so approachable, she's a teacher you can talk to about anything, which is very helpful because you learn about many things that are generally not in textbooks.
