The best way to start a Monday morning. I must have had 10 teachers on Italki (all of them very good) but Chika is by far the best.

Chika is an energetic, joyful teacher who makes every lesson genuinely fun and engaging. Conversations feel natural and relaxed, which makes it easy to speak and inspires me to use new grammar. What truly sets her apart is how she corrects mistakes. Her corrections are clear, encouraging and motivating. Learning always feels positive. Her wonderful balance of warmth and precision makes her an exceptional language teacher. I always leave her classes feeling more confident. I highly recommend her for Japanese learners of all ages.

Chika is a wonderful teacher! She's incredibly patient and we always have great conversations during our lessons. She also makes sure to cover a bit of grammar each class, which has been really helpful. I genuinely enjoy my class time with her. いつもありがとうございます！これからも一緒に日本語を勉強しましょうね！

Chika San was super helpful! She was asking very good questions to understand my learning goals and also discussing strategies to develop lessons. I am very happy with my teacher and confident that I will develop good Japanese speaking skills.

Excellent lesson! Focusing on an upcoming test, she did a fantastic job of preparing beforehand, and helped with weak points while allowing me to speak naturally. Easy to understand and patient!

Chika-san is a very outgoing and friendly teacher. She communicated information clearly and patiently. While my Japanese ability is very elementary I am confident that continuing my studies with her will help me achieve success!
