Hi my name is Kaori. I am from a city near Yokohama in Japan. I have been living in London for 25 years. I also lived in Edinburgh and Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, long time ago.
こんにちは! かおりといいます。出身は神奈川県で現在ロンドンに住んでいます。
I have been working as a professional tourist guide in England and Wales. So I have a good knowledge about these areas.
I am also a voice-over artist and occasional actress....or I should say an extra. I have been in a feature film (as a waitress)!
I love traveling, hill walking, cycling, British music (rock, indie and punk), pale ale, gin, yoga, baking, herbs, Celtic design, cats.
Moi en tant que professeur
I have MSc in Applied Linguistics and I have passed Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 90s.
I have taught Japanese as a foreign language for 7 years in total from teenager to business person both in group lessons and private lessons.
イギリスに25年以上住んでいます。エジンバラ大学で応用言語学の修士を取りました。
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
Conversation lessons would be in relaxed and friendly style. I won't use any text books or materials. Therefore the main focus is to brush up your speaking and listening skills. It would probably suit from intermediate level onwards. I will correct mistakes in grammar and vocabulary if requested.
General Japanese lessons will be, again in relaxed and friendly class! We use a text book called Genki 1 and you will learn grammars and vocabularies as well as Japanese writing!
I look forward to speaking with you!
* Please note lesson times are: 60mins -> 55mins
30mins -> 25mins

I always enjoy conversation practice with Kaori. For some reason I feel less nervous with her than with other teachers. Probably because of her very good english. I feel like I already learned a lot during her lessons. 5/5

Very much enjoyed my trial lesson. I think I am quite a difficult person to teach, but Kaori sensei was very patient and listened carefully, and suggested some ways that we could work together. She used very easy to understand Japanese for me and spoke very clearly. Thank you!
