🍃 Let's learn real Japanese to express yourself! 🍃 自分で考えて、自分の言葉で話せるようにサポートします! Hi! I’m Chiyomi.🍃 I am a certified Japanese teacher with 9 years of experience and over 3,400 online lessons. My goal is to support you so that you can communicate in your own words and style. Do you read Hiragana and Katakana? If so, you’ve already taken the first step. Together, let’s transform your knowledge into real, fluid conversation at your own pace.

I always create a calm, focused, and supportive environment tailored just for you. Originally from Kyoto, I have been living in a rural area of Indonesia for 17 years, where I enjoy a peaceful "slow life." My hobbies are yoga, organic gardening, and snorkeling. I look forward to exploring the Japanese language with you. 🌿 About My Lessons 🔹 Grammar for Speaking (A1-A2) Master the basics step-by-step with Minna no Nihongo Shokyū 1 & 2 (みんなの日本語 初級). 🔹 Intermediate Japanese (B1-B2) Speak and read with confidence using Minna no Nihongo Chūkyū 1 & 2 (みんなの日本語 中級). 🔹 Topic-Based Conversation (A2-B2) Enjoy thoughtful, meaningful chats about your specific interests and passions. 🔹 Free Conversation (A2-B2) Improve your fluency naturally in a calm, relaxed, and focused atmosphere.

Chiyomi 先生 is my favorite iTalki teacher. She has been a huge part of my journey in learning Japanese. She always shows up with the same motivating and kind energy no matter what time of the day we conduct our lessons. I am grateful to be able to do lessons with Chiyomi. ちよみ先生、今日のレッスンありがとうございました!

千代美先生、いつもありがとうございました。今「みんなの日本語」の二冊の勉強を終わって、先生といろいろな会話を続けますね。 Today I finished learning Minna no Nihongo I & II with Chiyomi. While I will certainly continue to have classes with her, I just want to leave a note saying how much I love Chiyomi’s classes. It’s incredibly easy to follow her explanations of grammar and different expressions. You will appreciate how genuine, patient, and encouraging she is as a teacher. I’m not a very talkative person in life but I always have a lot say during each class, and therefore have improved a lot in speaking. Take classes with Chiyomi!

Chiyomi 先生 and I have been finally working through some more challenging reading material without furigana. I remember when I first started doing lessons with her, I told her I was always afraid of kanji and never imagined myself being able to read a newspaper article, especially at this point in time. But I've made a lot of progress with Chiyomi 先生, and even as challenges arise and I take on more complex materials, she always remains kind, patient, and supportive in helping me grow in my language learning journey. I wanted to write a review today because I was feeling especially grateful this morning to be one of her students as I reflected on the progress I've made up until now. Chiyomi先生、ありがとうございます。また次のレッスンですね。

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.
