Hello! I am Chiyomi, a certified Japanese teacher in Indonesia. 🍃
Having lived abroad for 17 years and worked as a JICA volunteer, I know how difficult—and exciting—learning a new language is. With over 2,300 online lessons, I help you move beyond textbooks to "real-life" Japanese.
In my lessons, I focus on natural expressions you can use right away. I love making our time together enjoyable and effective. I am happy to support intermediate students who want more confidence.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy a slow life with gardening and snorkeling. This relaxed energy is part of my teaching style. Let’s enjoy "I can speak!" moments together! 🍃Me as a Teacher
My style is relaxed, patient, and professional. 🍃
I believe that making mistakes is the best way to learn. In my class, you don’t need to be perfect. As long as you are improving, you are doing great. My goal is to create a comfortable space where you can try new words without worry.
Based on my experience, I can explain difficult grammar in a simple and practical way. I am not just a teacher; I am your partner on your journey to mastering Japanese. Let’s build your confidence together!🍃 My lessons & teaching style
📗 Lessons will take place in the zoom,italki classroom,and Skype.📗

Chiyomi san is a very good Japanese tutor. I've booked lessons with her for more than 20 hours and still counting. She is patient and gentle. Her schedule is very flexible and she is always on-time. I'd like to recommend Chiyomi san to anyone who is lokking for Japanese online tutor.

Chiyomi’s lessons have been very useful in my language learning journey. Although I have some familiarity from solo learning grammar points, having to use them on the spot in speech has been very challenging. Chiyomi has guided me to be able to construct sentences with new grammar points and mixes in general chat with text book learning that keeps a structure and a naturalness to our lessons.
