Chika

Lessons with Chika are always fun and full of positive energy. She creates a relaxed atmosphere where it’s easy to talk, but she also stays focused and really listens. Even when I get stuck, she’s patient and encouraging, helping me build confidence by drawing out my strengths. The conversations flow naturally, and she keeps them going with interesting questions and insights. I always enjoy our time and feel motivated after each session. I highly recommend this teacher for students of every level. Seriously, super fun!

I've really enjoyed learning with Chika-san. She's always well prepared and knows how to guide the lesson effectively. Also, she has a great way of keeping things engaging and enjoyable. On top of that, she has a wonderful personality. Very friendly, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I can honestly recommend Chika-san to anyone looking for a fun, thoughtful, and skilled Japanese teacher.

I had my 2nd lesson with Chikaさん, and she consistently puts in a high level of effort to provide value during the lesson. Not only does she put in a good amount of preparation for the lesson but she takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly. She's able to provide insights into how particular words are used, if they are even used in conversation and when you might use them. I'm once again appreciative for today's lesson!

I had my first lesson with Chikaさん and it was amazingly insightful. Not only does Chikaさん have a very bright and friendly personality, but she made an incredible effort to improve my Japanese. She also provided insights into my Japanese that no one has ever told me before. I was really amazed, impressed and interested in all of the observations that she had. In addition to all of this, she was very enthusiastic and worked really hard to find words and phrases that I could integrate into my knowledge base.

I had a great lesson with Chika! She is a kind, energetic teacher who cares about her students goals :)!

Chikaせんせい was incredibly kind, and has very contagious energy. I have stayed away from 1:1 classes in the past, as speaking in a foreign language can be a very scary thing to do. Chika made me feel immediately welcome, and took great interest in my motivation for studying. I walked away with a study plan, and a smile on my face - excited to continue!
