About Chieko N.
I am a native Japanese speaker. I'm now living in the USA but also in Japan and go back and forth here and Tokyo. So I know the Japanese trend well from comics to businesses.
I have long working experience as engineering manager at some major international companies in japan. I know it is difficult for you to communicate with Japanese workers because there are a lot of business custom differences between Japan and other countries. If you feel something wrong in your communication with Japanese, please let me know it. I believe I can give you some tips on each specific situation.
I have the teaching credential of general science for middle and high school students certified by the Japanese University and I have successfully passed the Japanese language Teaching Competency Test authorized by the Society for Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language in Oct 2016.
Regarding the textbooks, I will adjust the textbooks and materials used in my lessons according to the student's level, requirements and goals. I have many textbooks and workbooks for the Japanese language learners which I bought in Japan recently. They include textbooks for the Japanese language proficiency Test (JLPT) N1 -N5.

Chieko is wonderful. My daughter loves her lessons! My daughter is already creating sentences and she has only had 4 or 5 lessons!

I really enjoyed my first lesson, and my interest in learning Japanese has only increased. I am looking forward to studying and learning more Japanese each week.

I had a fantastic first lesson with Chieko, she was very patient with my questions and incredibly friendly in teaching me the nuances between different ways to say the same thing! Would definitely recommend.

Chieko was very helpful and understanding! She made sure I understood something before moving on (especially if it was a bit difficult.)

Chieko-san is a very effective and very kind teacher. Whenever I was stuck and giving a wrong answer, she could help me out of the misconception or forgetfulness that I had stumbled into, in a very positive way. This means as a student you can keep moving forward at your own pace, make progress, and avoid feeling discouraged. We each must keep trying our best, as we have learned to say, ganbarimasu !

Chieko was sweet, patient, and organized. I felt very comfortable asking questions ranging from definitions to pronunciations to cultural implications. The first lesson focused on assessing my level, so I think it will only get better going forward.

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Chieko-sensei. She went at a fairly easy-to-follow pace, she was friendly and kind when I made mistakes, and she was eager to help with my grammar questions. I’m looking forward to the next lesson!

Chieko is really smart and fast on the uptake; she 'gets' what you're trying to do even when you yourself are not quite sure. I need someone to help me alchemically (i.e., LINGUISTICALLY) transform ideas that, after decades of trying and failing, it looks like I finally might be able to express. However, I can express them only in English. But since the heroine of the Magic Enchanted Metaphysical Fairytale (sic) by which those ideas are being expressed is a Japanese woman who speaks no meaningful English, I need to see how she thinks and feels in Japanese too. I think 中村千恵子 is just exactly the right person sent directly from 天 to help me do this! (袖触れ合うも多少のえん).

She is good and my daughter enjoyed.

Chieko-san has an extremely good understanding of how to organize, present, and explain the various grammatical forms and sentence patterns of Japanese to a native English speaker. Her very effective study materials and practice tests helped me check my progress and clear up misunderstandings. As well, her positive comments encouraged me to keep working toward my goal.

Chieko-san has brought high quality and challenging material that has enabled us to find out which areas of Japanese I should target for the next phase of my studies. With this approach, she helps me develop confidence while at the same time I find out what I don't know so well, and need to practice more. I expect that her teaching methods will bring even more benefits as the subject matter becomes more advanced and sophisticated, and making sense of the language and not just memorizing become more and more important.

I have taken 5 lessons so far and I enjoy every bit of my class. I have learned so much in a short amount of time that I feel confident I will do great on my trip to Japan. Best Teacher ever!

She is an amazing teacher! She gets to know you personally to help achieve your goal. I would recommend Chieko.
