Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! Do you freeze when talking to people, even if you're okay with AI? One student told me, "I'm scared to fail with humans." Today, he confidently initiates conversations in Japanese! As a student of Psychology and Education, I focus on how to release tension and let words flow naturally. My priority isn't just fixing grammar; it's creating a "Safe Space" where you can fail without fear. Using insights from educational theory, I provide a relaxing environment that maximizes your learning. I dedicate my full energy to every session. Expect a high-quality experience where you'll discover something new and finish feeling refreshed and lighter. Let’s turn your anxiety into confidence together!

[NEW YEAR SALE] PACKAGE FOR FREE TALK | Qualified Japanese teacher |Japanese from Zero| Konnnichiwa everyone! My name is Chikako. I graduated from a university in Fukuoka, where I majored in Cultural Studies. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a cabin crew member, which helped me develop strong communication skills and a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. I have also lived in Macau for 3 years and in France for 4 years, experiences that broadened my understanding of different languages and cultures. In addition to teaching, I work as a healing therapist. This work allows me to connect with people on a deeper level and support their emotional well-being — also value greatly in my approach to teaching. As a teacher, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students who are new to Japanese. My main focus is on beginners, especially absolute beginners who may feel nervous about speaking or making mistakes. In my lessons, I don’t rely heavily on textbooks or complicated grammar explanations. Instead, I teach simple and practical verb patterns and encourage students to use them immediately to create their own sentences. Because of this approach, many students are able to start speaking Japanese and feel real progress even within a one-hour lesson‼︎ My goal is to help you enjoy learning Japanese and feel confident taking your next step.

I have started teaching as a teaching assistant in Japanese classes when I was going to college. For the last 20 years, I've been helping new employees to get adjusted to their lives in Japan. Teaching basic Japanese was one of the support I was providing. I have helped my friends to pass JLPT. I have also supported foreign tourists as a volunteer guide in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Therefore, I am confident that I can support beginner level students well. I love seeing their smiles when they were able to use the language that they learned with locals. That’s the best thing when you are learning a new language. We will talk a lot in my class. That's the best way to gain confidence.

    Another great lesson with ゆきえさん! I recently started taking group Japanese classes at a university in addition to my lessons with her. Taking both has made me appreciate even more how much I enjoy my lessons with her! She does an amazing job personalizing each lesson to my level, interests, and needs, and I always feel comfortable practicing and speaking with her. I’m really enjoying learning Japanese with her and seeing my progress! ありがとうございます!

    I really had fun with Sensei’s listening skill challenge! It made me more aware of the areas where I still need to improve. I also really enjoy how Sensei discusses the latest news and current events, then teaches me how to express my thoughts naturally in Japanese. Overall, I always have a great time learning with Sensei. It’s not only helping me improve my Japanese, but also making the learning experience fun, practical, and engaging! 🇯🇵

    Chieko Sensei is fantastic at teaching students who are preparing for the JLPT. She has great understanding of the exam structure and does an excellent job of analysing and breaking down the different question types. She also provides useful tips and strategies to help tackle each type of question more effectively. She goes further by identifying and explaining the different types of comprehension and listening questions that may appear in the exam. Her expertise and extensive knowledge of the JLPT have given me the confidence when approaching the questions. Aside from exam prep, she also takes time at the beginning of each lesson to catch up with me, which is really helpful in improving my conversational skills. Whenever we go through a passage, she asks me questions and encourages me to explain my thoughts and understanding. This not only helps to strengthen my comprehension but also gives me more opportunities to practise speaking.

    Natsumi is a truly exceptional teacher. I've taken around 20 lessons with her at this point, and they have been worth every penny. There's the fact that you learn tons of new vocabulary and grammar. But more importantly, Natsumi has the right attitude. She is supportive and easy to talk to — but at the same time, willing and able to push you to try out expressions, structures, and topics you otherwise wouldn't do on your own. TLDR: if you're reading this, you're wasting time. Book a lesson with Natsumi now, and never look back.

    Yoko sensei is a wonderful teacher whom I would recommend to anyone of any level. She is cheerful, very well-organized, and extremely encouraging. Yoko sensei is clearly very experienced, and uses cards/props to prompt you and convey meaning without interrupting the flow of conversation when I am trying to speak. She speaks fluent English so can help me when I get stuck, but does not let the conversation lapse into English, so I am pushed to keep trying in Japanese. Yoko sensei sends summaries of our key vocabulary from the lesson in a clear and helpful format after we have finished. A fantastic teacher who will help you with whatever your goals are in your Japanese learning journey.
