Chisa-san was very encouraging and personable to speak with. In her trial lesson I could see that she was taking notes on our conversation and was able to guide our conversation towards things I enjoy talking about. We did free conversation and it was not ever awkward or uncomfortable. Chisa-san is friendly and a great teacher!

本当に本当に優しくて、親切に説明してくださって本当にありがとうございます。 助かりました。またよろしくお願いします。 ありがとうございます！

Chisa-san excellently gauged where my Japanese stands by speaking fully in Japanese using simple grammar. I appreciate the effort Chisa-sansei put into understanding where my Nihongo is, to help me, while also understanding my goals. She kindly drafted a review for me to review the lessons I knew, as I have stopped learning for 7 months, and it was very interactive. She made me comfortable enough to try even if I make mistakes, she was also patient with me when I was trying to remember/think and gave me the time I needed. She corrected me kindly and explained 'why' certain words may make 'more sense' and are 'less awkward' in native Japanese, even if the grammar is correct, which I really appreciate. I almost missed my class (wrong timing) and she still accommodated me so kindly (I'm sorry Chisa-sensei!) -- Thank you so much! I look forward to learning with Chisa sensei! She's very kind and smart. I will put more effort into reviewing and studying with you. ほんとうにありがとうございました！

本当に本当に優しく説明してくださるし、おっしゃってくださるし、とても役に立ちました。ありがとうございます。 またよろしくお願いします！

Chisa sensei facilitates the class very well! We get through so much during the class, and she always reviews my work and provides feedback too. I thoroughly enjoyed our class today and benefited so much. I look forward to our future classes. She gives me sooooo much care and is always very encouraging :) I’m so glad I found her!

チサさんはとても親切です！ This was my first time using italki and I felt very encouraged and comfortable. Definitely recommend!
