I'm Chiaki! I was born and grew up in Japan. I think you will be surprised to see how happy and positive I am during our lessons. I am not trying to overreact or anything, but I get super happy when you do well because I think of my students as my learning partners. When you do well or accomplish your goal, I get super excited for you! After I graduated from high school, I went to college in the USA. My major was early childhood education, and I worked at a preschool after college. There were 13 cute American students in my class! I have also worked at a language school in America teaching Japanese, so I have experience teaching English and Japanese. Recently I finished training with a medical interpreter school. A medical interpreter must translate complex medical information to patients who speak a different language. Interpreters help ensure a complete understanding of essential information between medical staff and their patients. I love anime, cooking, working out at the gym and talking, so if you have similar interests, we will certainly get along :)

She taught me SO much in a short period of time. I can now construct sentences, read Hiragana, and am working to learn more verbs to conjugate and Katakana! She is extremely supportive, understanding, patient, and knows how to challenge a student. I will return to her when I am ready to get back to learning even more. :) Thank you Chiaki/ Sensei
Chiaki-San is a wonderful teacher! She has so much patience with me and is very encouraging. When I need to work around my schedule she is so understanding and easy to work with. You are always guaranteed to laugh in her lessons. It’s like talking to a best friend but learning as you go. As a very shy person, she makes me feel comfortable and excited for each lesson. I have learned so much more than I thought I would in a short amount of time. She is a great teacher and the only one I would ever recommend. She is great!

You are also always guaranteed to laugh in each lesson. It's like talking to your best friend. She is such a joy to learn from. As a very shy person she makes me feel very comfortable and excited for each lesson. I've already learned so much more than I thought I would in a short amount of time. I can not recommend her enough!
