こんにちは! After living and working in multiple areas of Japan I now teach Japanese and English online. Learning a language can be a very fun and rewarding experience, and I love having the chance to share that with my students. With many years of online teaching experience, I believe my hand-crafted teaching materials can be used by the students in order to learn the language much more effectively than from other tutors.

Some people ask, “why should I learn Japanese from you instead of a native speaker?” The answer is that I believe that languages are actually taught better by a non-native speaker. Native speakers do not have the experience of studying the language through the context of English in the same way a non-native does. Because I have spent lots of time learning Japanese myself, I am able to pass on all of the studying tricks I have learned throughout the years to my students. I also have first hand experience of what it is like to live as a foreigner in Japan and can give advice about how to deal with the struggles involved.

Though I also teach intermediates, my main focus is beginners. I have written my own teaching materials aimed at teaching Japanese to English speakers with little or no experience. My materials focus on teaching Japanese in a way that flows logically, as well as teaches the most important information first. Since the classes are one on one and I wrote the book myself, I am able to easily mold the material to fit any student's needs. I am happy to take any kind of student so feel free to send me a message!

So knowledgable and kind!

Chase helps me feel so comfortable as I'm learning such a new and different subject! I'm often too hard on myself and place unrealistic expectations but I feel very supported and encouraged while we study. A safe place to learn! <3 As an adult it's sometimes hard to open yourself up to new things, but it's a perfect balance of being able to joke around and get down to the actual learning as well.

Helpful and informative

My 16 year old daughter is enjoying her tutoring time, Chase is supporting her keen interest in learning Japanese. We plan to continue not just for academic reasons but to support her growing interest in the language.

Enjoyable lesson!

My son had his first lesson with Chase and was excited to continue. He is only eleven but Chase told me things went even better than expected. He seems fun and engaging and I look forward to having my son learn as much as possible.

Helping my 11th grader with her Japanese class

Chase has been a huge help for my 11th grade daughter who was struggling in her third year Japanese high school class. In about about a month he has helped her raise her grade from a C to a B. My daughter says she feels comfortable working with Chase. As a non native speaker he understands the difficulties that she is having with the grammar. He has helped her with her homework as well as preparing for her winter exam. We look forward to more tutoring sessions with Chase!

Knowledgeable, punctual, and friendly

My daughter was so excited after the lesson and convinced she could learn a new language. She felt comfortable enough to ask questions about Japan itself.
