Chieko Osugi

In today's lesson I prepared a short story on how when I was a young kid I fell asleep on the boat while traveling alone for the first time, ending up in the wrong city. Chieko helped me correct it, and also provided input on more appropriate words to use. We also worked a bit with new patterns in the textbook. I enjoy our conversations and I learn a lot from them!

My lesson was fun as always and I've been feeling a little better about my listening comprehension lately. I still struggle when watching TV, news, as expected, but conversationally/face-to-face I feel more positive. :) We talked about work, and my upcoming shamisen lesson (which was amazing and can't wait to talk about next time)!

It is a joyous trial lesson! It was not a lesson but more of a conversation with the teacher which I think is a faster way to improve if you want to learn how to converse in the language. I have enjoyed this lesson very much!

Thank you for a very special lesson for me today! It was really nice from you to introduce me to Azuma-San! And warm thanks to her for asking about my daily life :)

I had a fantastic time in my lesson! Breaking out of the comfort zone is hard but Osugi sensei was patient and made it very easy to speak and learn. I can't recommend highly enough.

I have been self-studying Japanese for about a year mainly through reading and listening. I was nervous to begin speaking practice, but having recently moved to Japan it became apparent that I really needed to get started! I decided to book a lesson with Chieko sensei, and boy am I glad I did! Chieko sensei is lovely and was able to immediately help improve my speaking ability, reading, grammar and vocabulary. She's patient, engaging, and explains concepts clearly and concisely. Plus, she has a youtube channel filled with great immersion content (the cow videos are my favorites.) If you're feeling apprehensive about starting tutoring, don't be! Book Chieko sensei and start making progress towards your language goals!
