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.

I've now taken several TPRS lessons with Chie-Sensei and she has been a wonderful teacher. She is clear, patient, friendly, and fun... and I look forward to every lesson with her. Highly recommended.

I am writing this rating after having taken over 20 hours of classes with my Japanese tutor. I highly recommend Mrs. Chieko for her extensive experience and ability to customize her teaching approach to suit individual learning styles. She excels in establishing a solid foundation for language learning, ensuring that students develop a strong understanding of the fundamentals. Her expertise has greatly contributed to my progress in Japanese, and I confidently recommend her to anyone seeking effective and personalized language instruction.
