Hello, my name is Karen! 

I'm a full-time teacher, online and offline. To date, I've taught over 10000 lessons in total. 

I've been teaching for almost 10 years now. My students are mostly working professionals and hobbyists. Their ages range from 15 to 70 years old. I often receive requests such as: 
  • Job interview [就職面接]
  • Business trip [出張]
  • Live abroad [外国で暮らす]
  • Cultural exchange [文化交流]
  • Expressing opinions in meetings [会議での意見表明]
  • Preparing for presentations [プレゼンテーションの準備]
  • General, everyday conversations [一般的な日常会話]
  • Essay / e-mail writing [エッセイ・メールライティング]
  • CV/Resume advice [履歴書・履歴書のアドバイス]
A little bit about me:

I've been living in Japan for 9 years, and I've grown to love the country. I'm hoping to stay here long term and continue teaching English. Before Japan, I also lived in England, New Zealand and Indonesia. 

My favorite place in Japan is Osaka [大阪]. My favorite food is chawanmushi [茶碗蒸し] and sukiyaki [すき焼き].

In my spare time, I like to read and hang out with my dogs. I currently have 8 dogs, so I'm always busy! (Don't worry. They won't affect the lesson, because I never let the noisy ones in my office!)

I also love singing, but I'm not good at it. 

My teaching style:

I love it when my students learn something new. I believe it's also important that students enjoy their learning experience. No fun, no gain!

My teaching style is flexible, because everyone learns in a different way. However, I do believe students should talk as much as possible during the lesson!

I value myself as a professional. Every lesson will be centered on the student, and I will adjust my lessons accordingly. Every lesson, you will get detailed notes from me. It will include corrections, new vocabulary and phrases. On average, I give at least 1 page of notes for a 25-minute lesson.

Thank you so much for reading.

よろしくお願いします！
