Fully enjoyable and engaging. Lessons are 45 min but feel like only 10 min because they are good. Glad to have made the choice for the wife and I. We communicate thru Skype on Fridays/Saturdays.

I have been working with Chiyo Sensei for almost one and a half years now and love every lesson we have! In order to make it to AP japanese by 12th grade I needed to skip a year of japanese by studying in the summer. I would not have been able to do it without my lessons with Chiyo Sensei! She also helped me during the school year since I had been studying Japanese a year less than the other people in my class and now I am farther than I thought I would make it in Japanese. Now I am still studying with her and am making good progress!
