About Myself
Hi I’m ChiA!
I currently live in the beautiful state of Oregon, in the U.S., and am originally from Japan.
I enjoy taking group exercise classes, especially Hip-hop based dance classes.
I love listening to people and learning from them.
I get goosebumps when people share with me their true, honest, & authentic self (emotional pain, struggles, vulnerability, strength, gentleness, kindness, genuine warm compassion).
Therefore, I LOVE having deep conversations.
Many people often feel as if I’m their best friend and as if they’ve known me for a long time although they just met me.
It’ll be an honor to inspire you, empower you, and lead you to a clear path on your successful homeschooling journey.
Many of my gym friends, co-workers, professors, and mentors made me realize that I’m good at teaching by facilitating and by empowering a person’s strength!
I'm a go-getter and Miss "efficient," so I book my syllabus, schedule, and deadlines in my calendar early.
The compliment I usually got most from my nurse colleagues was how efficiently I worked with a gentle and logical approach.
My professors called me a “sponge” learner as I meticulously devoured for an answer whatever I wanted to know.
I love the philosophy of simplifying everything; simple life, simple clean kitchen, and simple environment without clutterness.
My Mission & Approach
It is my mission to make you, as a new Asian homeschooling mother, realize that you’re “enough,” and you’re doing “enough” already for educating your child, not pursuing perfectionism.
It is my mission to acknowledge and empower your hardest unpaid yet most valuable work in the world; educating your child at home.
I coach & empower you, as a new Asian homeschooling mother, to START & GROW in your successful homeschooling journey by showing deep understanding and care with clear, specific guidance.
My coaching style is “to the point” and concrete, so you, as a new homeschooling mother, start your homeschooling journey knowing exactly what to do and with peace of mind.
Your homeschooled child becomes excited to learn!
My mission strongly supports each homeschooling mother: one person at a time with a step-by-step approach. I strongly believe that everyone has her special abilities, so it is my mission to acknowledge, support, and bring out these strengths.
I strongly believe that self-driven learning and education start from home with self-confident, a well supported new homeschooling mother. A self-confident, well- supported homeschooling mother provides the best suited, personalized education for your own child.
Hence, I listen deeply in supporting your concerns and needs.
In working together, your true, authentic self will shine!
As like minded Asian homeschooling mothers, there is much we can share.
Let’s have an honest, deep and inspiring tea talk online!
Initially, homeschooling was never intended to be part of my children's educational journey.
My Journey
I finally became true to myself after starting a homeschooling journey for my children.
My ADHD son started reading a college level immunology textbook at age 7 after we started homeschooling. My 4 yr old daughter started reading 3rd grade level books.
Initially, homeschooling was never intended to be part of my children’s educational journey.
I was traumatized by my educational experiences in traditional schools. Throughout the entirety of my school years, I never felt that I could be true to myself. I’d never felt like I was really grounded, because I always felt pressure to be perfect and to be approved by others.
I never felt that I had accomplished “enough,” and I never felt that I was working hard “enough.”
This amounted to achieving good grades, succeeding in the most prestigious career, and of course by following and by obeying all the school rules and systems.
I was especially sensitive about being criticized or blamed for anything.
I was always receiving and waiting for “orders” instead of actively seeking out knowledge I felt I needed.
I didn’t like many of the teachers who often criticized me, and so I still have fear and uncertainty about anyone who says they are a teacher.
I have always felt like it was necessary to be “perfect” and that I had to achieve and perform at an extremely high level, just as I was expected to do throughout my traditional schooling years.
I was just like you…
