❗❗Conversation lesson fees (not packages) will increase by .50 USD on May 1st.
I'm Karen and I'm from the U.K. I currently live in Japan and have lived here since 2012.
I came to Japan because my mother is Japanese and I wanted to experience life in her home country.
I also came to try and learn Japanese! 私の日本語のレベルはまだまだですけど、少しわかります。がんばります!
Me as a Teacher
I have taught English for 10 years and I have worked with wide range of students. Right now, I teach small group conversation classes, private lessons and online TOEIC Prep lessons.
My own experience as a student of Japanese has helped me understand and empathize with my students. I'm patient and let my students take the time they need to construct and produce their English.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will mostly focus on daily conversation. We can choose a topic and talk about it - asking and answering each others' questions. I will introduce useful words and phrases that you can use in your conversations with English speakers. We can also do small activities such as grammar exercises; vocabulary worksheets; reading and listening practices.
I believe conversation is the key to really developing your language skills and not many language students get a chance to practise what they learn.
❗❗ I do not teach Kid's classes. I will teach from ages 16+.
Let's chat about anything and everything. And most importantly, let's have fun!

I believe that my English will improve with this teacher. I think I will often receive lessons from them, so I'm even considering whether I should keep writing reviews. Thank you very much.

The teacher has been very attentive to my feedback, and by today's third lesson, they provided a very comfortable and confident experience, tailoring the teaching style and content to suit me. Despite this being almost my first time with video lessons, I overcame my fear and felt that my English would improve. Thank you.

Despite my many shortcomings, you are patiently guiding me. I'm not sure if I can keep up, but you are a great teacher who encourages me to try hard and flexibly guides me.

She was very kind and adjusted the pace slowly to suit me. She paid a lot of attention to pronunciation and always seemed to check if I understood. Although we couldn't do much on the first day, I was satisfied and likely to attend her class again
