Chiharu is an amazing tutor that caters to your exact learning style. She encourages self-motivated study and has allowed me to make great strides into my own personal endeavors in Japanese. As a high school student who works, it is without a doubt that I can say that Chiharu is very understanding when it comes to busy moments in life, yet she applauds perseverance despite the chaos.

I sat down with Ms. Eriko and I must say, she is amazing We had difficulty at first finding the last word but she puts her all into her students, offering notes and helping to pronounce words. Even in difficulty where I became discouraged she still never gave up to find the translation I was looking for. I would advise anyone looking to learn Japanese or, get things translated correctly to go to her.

Tamaki, as before was a great teacher. This time we had a lot to go over. I enjoy the conversation in Japanese. She makes it comfortable for you to speak it without feeling bad for messing up. It feels like it's okay to so you can be corrected and learn from your mistakes. It's like learning a language as a child where you learn in school how to say things. She's better then a normal teacher or anyone else I've learned from.
