Chie Nowa

I've been learning with Chieko-Sensei for a few months now and couldn't be happier with our lessons. She's a very kind and helpful teacher who is always willing to explore with me. Even though I'm still relatively early in my Japanese journey our lessons are comprehensible. She is really good at meeting me where I'm at language-wise and explains things so well I don't need my native language to understand. I look forward to our lessons every week, and each time they're over I feel both a little bit more connected to the language and culture, and a little bit more excited to try my best.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to work with me. I hope I can continue to improve each time and do better to improve my speech. The teacher is very knowledgeable and has very good recommendations for improvement. She is quite kind and patient, and gives good feedback.

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.

Another excellent lesson, thank you for all your help! I hope you have a great trip!

I was referred to Chie Nowa by another student . He said TPRS was a good method for learning and I am excited after my first lesson to continue !
