ABOUT ME:
Hello! My name is Fiona and I live in Tokyo, Japan with my husband, two year old daughter and our miniature dachshund. I was born in Bedford, England and have also lived in Perth, Australia and Kurashiki, Japan. Together with my daughter, we enjoy long neighbourhood walks, time at the park, reading, water play, and singing and dancing to music. We love Winnie the Pooh - my daughter’s favourite character is Tigger! In my (limited!) free time, I enjoy learning about infant nutrition and toddler language development, watching Netflix (I love The Good Place and Modern Family), swimming, and playing a bit of Mario Kart. I’m hoping to set some time aside to study for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (N2).

MY TEACHING EXPERIENCE:
I taught English at a Japanese senior high school for two years before leaving to start postgraduate studies and get married! In 2016, I visited Cambridge, England and completed an intensive month-long CELTA (an initial teacher training qualification). I really enjoyed working with students and other teachers of all ages and nationalities during this time. Last year I completed my Master’s degree in Arts (TESOL), submitting my thesis just four days before my daughter was born! During my studies, I taught lessons here on Cafetalk, as well as at an international school working with young learners. I’m also a speaking examiner, and have travelled from Fukuoka to Shizuoka, Japan conducting hundreds of speaking exams.

MY TEACHING STYLE:
I specialise in teaching adults and young adults communicative English. Lessons take all kinds of shape - from free conversations about our favourite things at the moment to deeper discussions of current affairs, practice with particular grammar structures and assistance with preparing for exams or presentations. My lesson goals include decreasing my talking time and increasing yours, recognising individual student needs, and getting to know you better each lesson. While I can understand some Japanese, let’s try and use only English in our lessons to really improve your listening and speaking skills! 
MY LESSON GUIDE:
It can be difficult to know where to start with Cafetalk lessons. Use the following guide to help get you started, or consult with me in a Trial Lesson.
