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 San is an amazing Japanese teacher! She is very kind and very knowledgeable and very helpful to help you learn the language. I highly recommend her to whoever want to learn the Japanese language!

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 lessons! Very patient while giving great advice. Gives ample time for talking while also explaining new words or cultural points clearly. Amazing teacher!

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!
