I have been taking lessons with Chihiro-sensei for 5 months now. During this time, I have learned a lot, and thanks to her, I was able to pass the N2 exam. Chihiro-sensei is a great teacher, and we can have enjoyable conversations on any topic, making the lessons feel light and easy. If you are thinking about starting to study Japanese, I definitely recommend booking an initial lesson with Chihiro-sensei.Owen

I have been learning with Chihiro-sensei for more than a year now, and I'm so glad and grateful to have her as my teacher! From the start, Chihiro-sensei has always been patient, friendly, and helpful. She always answers my questions in a clear manner, and corrects my Japanese in a way that makes me feel supported, not judged. I also enjoy how we get to spend some time during lessons chatting about our cultures and experiences. Thank you Chihiro-sensei!

I have been studying Japanese with Chihiro for about 9 months, and I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks to her guidance, my Japanese has improved tremendously. From the very first lesson, she made me feel completely at ease, even though I was quite anxious about speaking Japanese. Her teaching approach is both patient and encouraging, and she always adapts the lessons to suit my needs. I’ve learned so much during our time together—grammar rules, vocabulary, and more—but what I value most is that she helped me overcome my fear of speaking Japanese. If you’re looking for a supportive, skilled, and motivating teacher, Chihiro is the perfect choice. Studying with her has been a truly rewarding experience!Richard

I have taught online since 2019. In my conversation classes, we practice a variety of topics about life, hobbies, Japanese culture, as well as recent society and news, according to students' interests.
Japanese for beginners
I have been teaching beginner level Japanese since 2016. I have taught foreigners living abroad, so I have a lot of experience teaching people who are not usually exposed to Japanese. We will start by learning hiragana and simple greeting expressions.

I have taught N5 and N4 at school, and can also teach grammar for N3 and above.
Intensive Japanese
I have experience teaching beginner to intermediate intensive courses.
General Japanese
Minna no Nihongo" was used to teach balanced Japanese for reading, listening, writing, and speaking.Other textbooks are also available.
Ap japanese language & culture
Since I live in Japan, I can discuss current realistic information about Japan. I like to travel within Japan and can talk about various places. I also like pop culture such as anime and TV dramas, so I can introduce you many things.
