A well-suited teaching pace, along with carefully selected materials, creates an environment that enhances understanding, keeps students engaged, and supports effective learning outcomes.
Thank you, Chikako-sensei, for your teachings so far. We have benefitted tremendously. You have been very experienced and knowledgeable. We appreciate that you can teach not only test prep materials but also subject-specific topics. We can tell that you clearly understand our needs and are quick and flexible to accommodate our ever-changing requirements. Your multi-lingual skills also help us understand Japanese better. We have been very satisfied with and grateful for your teachings!
I am happy. I just passed JLPT N4 :-) Thank you Chikako Sensei for your support.
I love the pace and the relevance of the lessons to my daily applications. The lessons are fun and I look forward to learning with Chikako sensei!
Overall good. You have made the teaching interesting and enjoyable.
Classes with Chikako-san are always enjoyable though. Thanks very much for that!
Chikako sensei has a very good teaching style, is correctly paced, answers questions clearly, and often goes over my interest points which is good.
Chikako sensei is an excellent tutor. I have been taking conversational Japanese lessons with Chikako sensei for a few weeks, and have been thoroughly impressed with the pace of progression, and her ability to explain complex concepts in a simple manner for a beginner like myself to understand. My goal has been to learn conversational Japanese, and each lesson has been very focused on practical vocabulary and sentence structure to help me achieve this. I’ve always been interested in learning Japanese, and my lessons with Chikako sensei have been nothing short of spectacular. Our lessons each week are definitely highlights that I look forward to! Highly recommend Chikako sensei for anyone interested in learning Japanese at any level.
I started learning Japanese with the Gojūon. Now I can read simple articles and chat with Sensei in simple Japanese. Chikako Sensei always prepares fruitful content for us in every class. The class is relaxed and interesting. I am very grateful for her wonderful teaching. I recommend both group classes and private classes, each with its own characteristics and learning focus! Thank you Sensei.
Chikako-sensei helps me prepare before the lesson, and the notes and summaries after the lesson are easy to read and I learn a lot from them, so I think it's great.
I've been having weekly 1:1 sessions with Chikako and I can't recommend her enough! Her teaching approach is incredibly gentle, and she always supplements the lessons with the notes that she shares at the end of each lesson. As a native speaker, she provides insights on the pratical usage of Japanese that go beyond textbook examples, which makes learning enjoyable. I'm grateful for her dedication in helping me improve my Japanese skills! :)
Thanks to Chikako Sensei, I passed the JLPT N3! Thank you so much! It is a miracle!!
Chikako sensei is very experienced and lesson content is not based solely on textbook materials, but also covers very native cultural Japanese topics. Also, I have specific areas in Japanese for which I would like to focus on, and Chikako sensei would help cater specifically to my needs. Every lesson’s fun and fruitful. 先生、ありがとうございます :) !
Fluent in English, that is very easy to communicate and ask vocabularies/grammar questions to Chikako san. Furthermore her class is engaging. She is often smiling and patient with her explanations. I recommend her !
Chikako san is very attentive to what we need, she has a tailor made plan for each student as she understands each student has different needs. My interest of learning Japanese is revoking on conversation, be able to communicate comfortably in Japanese esp during travel is my priority. I am so grateful that with Chikako san’s help, I am making progress along the way. I particularly appreciate her effort in establishing individual learning target/ plan for me, allowing me to enjoy the leaning in a non traditional way. She can of course accommodate those who prefer traditional sessions. Lastly, Chikako san is incredibly fun to work with, plus always flexible to accommodate my schedule. Thank you Chikako san for all the support. I am willing to refer you to anyone that I come across.
Chikako Sensei offers clear explanations of Japanese vocabulary, grammar and use scenario with up-to-date examples. The course design has a great balance between learning and practicing. Sharing of Japanese culture is a bonus point!

I will customised according to student who needs Grammer, writing, Reading, Vocaburary and Listening
I wlil explain in English. In order to learn other language is not only to understand the sentences but also understand the culture. Therefore, I will share the culture as well as the background of each other.
I tihnk it is very important to share the culture and customs. I usually share the pictures and videos if it is hard for students to understand by oral explanation. So I will use the screen to show sample picture and video to learn by visuals.
On the first lesson, I will check the level of the students. Then I will suggests books or my materials to teach step by step according to the level. In my lesson, I care to ask students as well as I forcus to communicate during the lesson. So, my style is not one-way teaching. I will make lesson with a lot of interactive with students.
I am Native Japanese. So, students is able to practice listening from me all the time. I will correct if students made wrongly. I will explain whether it is practical in conversation or writing way only in a native point of view.
When students make sentence, there is a space to improve or alternative way to say. So, I do suggest in spot by spot to share more vocabulary.
I will correct the pronunciation during the lesson. As well, I will send my voice to follow as shadowing practice at home if students needs.
