About
Hello! My name is Chieko
The founder and lead instructor at Kotoba Garden Japanese. I'm a native Japanese speaker with over 6 years of experience teaching online, specializing in Business Japanese for professionals, job seekers, and international students.
At Kotoba Garden, my mission is to help you communicate naturally and confidently in real Japanese business settings—whether you're writing formal emails, attending meetings, or preparing for a Japanese job interview.
Why Focus on Business Japanese?
Many platforms teach casual Japanese, but very few focus on practical language skills for the workplace.
Business Japanese requires a deeper understanding of formality (keigo), professional tone, and cultural context.
At Kotoba Garden, I provide personalized training that helps you:
-
Speak confidently in meetings
-
Write professional emails
-
Understand unspoken workplace etiquette
-
Avoid common cultural mistakes
My Background
With a background in education and linguistics, I’ve helped learners from the U.S., Europe, and Asia succeed in Japanese-speaking environments.
Many of my students have passed job interviews, improved business communication, or passed JLPT exams thanks to a clear and customized learning path.
