I've been having Japanese lesson with Chikaさん for a while now and can say that she's one of the best teachers I've ever had.
She's an experienced teacher and knows how to create an engaging lesson. She would constantly adjust the time we spend on each grammar point or sentence structure according to how well I understand them. If I find myself struggling with a certain point, she would make sure I get enough practice before we move on to the next topic so I can learn at my own pace and fully comprehend everything. She is also friendly, patient and easy to talk to, which makes the lessons not only productive but also very enjoyable.
I would highly recommend Chikaさん to anyone who's learning Japanese, she is simply an amazing teacher!
Chikaさん、これからもよろしくお願いします^^♪

Chika-sensei is very nice and easy to understand. She encourages me to speak at ease and corrects my mistakes very nicely.
I alway have a lot of fun at her lessons.
She also prepeares a document for each lesson, where I can look at key points of our conversations to further improve my japanese.

Sensei is very good at finding ways to make the language clear to beginners, finding materials to work with the student's level and interests, and perceiving difficulties.
