Hi I'm Vicky!
(Actually my real name is Victoria, but please call me Vicky)
I live in Cambridge, in England.
I'm an online English teacher. I've been teaching English for 12 years. I have a CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults) qualification.
I used to live in Japan. I lived in Kobe, Tokyo and Yokohama.
Some of my teaching experience:
- Berlitz, Manchester
- Berlitz, Tokyo
- ECC
- Athenée Français (Tokyo)
- Employees at JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency)
- Employees at Hitachi Systems
- Employees at Ricoh
- Students at Tokyo Institute of Technology
- Students at Waseda University
- The British Red Cross (teaching refugees and immigrants)
I have experience teaching:
- General English
- Business English
- Academic English
- Exam preparation (TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, EiKen)
When I was in Japan I studied Japanese, so I understand the difficulty in learning a language which is very different.
I achieved JLPT N2, and am studying towards level N1.
I have also done some translation work whilst working at an art dealership in Ginza.
I also took Japanese calligraphy lessons for four years. My original work was exhibited seven times in public galleries in Japan, on one occasion winning an award.
I have sold commissioned works both in person and online, including one which is on permanent display as part of the decor in an Italian fashion boutique.
****Please note that I am not accepting new students under the age of 18 at the moment****
