Chieko san is an outstanding teacher who follows the principles of Comprehensible Input in her lessons. Thanks to her thoughtful and engaging teaching style, I feel confident that I can learn Japanese naturally, just as I would acquire a first language. She creates an environment where understanding and communication come first, which makes learning enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend Chieko san to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Japanese in a way that feels intuitive and stress-free.

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 had an amazing first lesson with Chie先生. Like everyone says, she is able to accurately assess your language level and go at a pace that makes the conversation seem natural while gently correcting your mistakes. I can't really speak Japanese yet, but I was happy that we were able to have our lesson almost fully in Japanese since she adapted to my skill level. I'm looking forward to our next lesson.

My trial lesson with Chie-sensei was excellent. She covered all the necessary basics of what to expect and what my learning goals are. She was very personable and attentive to my needs, and I feel confident booking more lessons with her!

Estoy muy agradecido por Sensei Chie-san.💛 Me gusta su estilo de ensenar el japonés porque es divertido. Ella es muy amable con una sonrisa lleno de luz y me anima de hablar más. Siempre tiene paciencia conmigo porque yo se que a veces soy tardo en la habla. Si quieres una maestra así debes tener una clase con ella.
