Chieko san is an outstanding teacher who follows the principles of Comprehensible Input in her lessons. Thanks to her thoughtful and engaging teaching style, I feel confident that I can learn Japanese naturally, just as I would acquire a first language. She creates an environment where understanding and communication come first, which makes learning enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend Chieko san to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Japanese in a way that feels intuitive and stress-free.

Talking with Chieko-sensei about day-to-day things or shared interests is always a pleasure, and she does a great job of providing interesting lesson materials that match my level. Her lessons are a great "comprehensible output" companion to my Japanese study through the Comprehensible Input method, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to learn Japanese and improve their conversational skills in a natural and comfortable way.

To All the Language Explorers of the World, Join Chie-san on iTalki for a stellar Japanese journey! Her TPRS method blends lively chats, gestures, and a Google Doc for focus. As a beginner knowing only “hello,” I now form short sentences after a few 30-minute biweekly lessons. Chie-san’s patience and encouragement ignite my progress. Chie-san’s care and cultural insights shine. She teaches Japanese traditions, prepping me for Japan with respect. Her passion makes lessons a joy. I learned particles and sentence markers, boosting my reading. Choose Chie-san on iTalki for vibrant, rich lessons! たのしくまなびましょう! (Tanoshiku manabimashou! / Let’s learn happily!) Michael

The lesson is really fun and I feel I'm learning quite fast compared when to when I only study grammar. Chie sensei takes time to explain and repeat me when I don't understand and she is keeping track a document where I can review words and sentences of the class. I'm enjoying these lessons.

My trial lesson with Chie-sensei was excellent. She covered all the necessary basics of what to expect and what my learning goals are. She was very personable and attentive to my needs, and I feel confident booking more lessons with her!
