[ もう少しで111回目のレッスンになります！お祝いとして、5月1日から一週間だけ全ての60分会話レッスンを11ドルで設定します★スケジュールも4月30日に更新します。早い者勝ちですので、お見逃し無く(*^▽^*)]
Hi there! I'm New Caledonian French and I live in Japan where I've been teaching English, Japanese and French for several years.
I started teaching at an International Business school in Japan. I then became a foreign language coach for a Japanese company in the tourism industry.
I started teaching online private lessons in 2020 and I would love to teach more of these on italki during my free time!
初めまして。ニューカレドニア出身のフランス人です。
日本では英語の教師として数年務めてきましたが、最近は普通の学校ではできないコミュニケーション力が上がるレッスンを教える方が楽しいと知りました。それで自由時間がある時にItalkiでフランス語や英語の楽しいレッスンをすることにしました。目標や授業のタイプの希望をご相談ください☆
よろしくお願いします！Me as a Teacher
Am I the right teacher for you?
- Do you need a teacher who can give complex explanations in more than one language?
- Do you want a safe place to learn with a fun but meticulous teacher?
- Are you bored of learning in a conventional way? I am a master at teaching you the most intricate parts of French and Japanese in the most communicative and fun way!
先生としての私の特徴：
・3か国語も対応できますので、ご希望に合わせて、フランス語・英語・日本語を臨時黄変に使って複雑な説明はできます。
・楽しい雰囲気と適切な説明の量のコンビは外国語を話せるようになるコツだと思いますので、こういった先生がいいなら連絡ください！
・学校や英会話によくあるレッスンにあきましたか？いつも同じ先生だといつも同じことをしていたら、つまらなくなって勉強が続かない問題にぶつかったことがないですか？私もその気持ちがよくわかりますので、生徒のニーズと性格に合わせてレッスンとアクティビティを変えて一緒に前に進みます！
クラスは24時間前であれば、無料でキャンセルもしくは変更ができます。もし15分以上遅れるとクラスはキャンセルされ、返金はしません。ご了承をMy lessons & teaching style
On Italki, I am hoping to teach conversational classes and help you develop your communication skills in your target language.
However, I always like to be flexible and can also help you with exam preparations, practicing oral presentations or help you improve your writing. This is what I've been doing for a living for several years, so tell me if that is what you need. :)
I am best suited as a teacher for people who learn:
- English at a A1-B2 level
- French at a A1-C2 level
- Japanese at a A1-C1 level
I can make use of my background in the following areas to spice up our lessons:
- retail and sales
- travelling and living abroad
- dance and diving
- anime, manga, JRPGMy teaching material
- PDF file
- Audio files
- Flashcards
- Image files
- Articles and news
- Presentation slides/PPT

Teaching experience
2016 - 2020
English teacher - Coach in Exam preparationsDuring my time at this International Business school, I taught all kinds of classes: from teaching general English classes to skill-targeted ones (Reading classes, Grammar classes, Conversation classes, etc) to preparing our undergraduates to sit exams and tests such as the TOEIC, the IELTS or the EIKEN.
This allowed me to get solid foundations as a foreign language teacher and led me to develop my own teaching style and methods.
I'll be happy to share them with you!
2020 - 2022
Foreign language teacher & Exam Preparation CoachThose years brought me a wealth of experience as a teacher.
First I coached the staff in English/Japanese so they could enjoy their duties stress-free.
For our hotel, I created tailor-made language courses for guests on workation with my teammates.
There I led and trained teachers as well as conducted classes as the core member of the team. Those years allowed me to specialise even further in catering to adults needing to refine their language skills to perform at a higher level in their job.
Work Experience
2020 - 2022
Foreign language Coach & International Sales -From coaching the staff in foreign languages (ENG/JP) to represent the compagny on the international scene, my time with the largest water sports compagny of Japan was rich in new experiences on the business scene.
From creating presentations to finding new partners, countless skills I got there will come in handy in our lessons.
We can also if you wish, exchange on the realities of working in Japan as a foreign national during a Conversation Practice.
Straight dirt guaranteed ;D
2012 - 2016
Retail Sales associate & advisorDo you need foreign language training focused on Customer Service, Tourism or Retail?
I have had the pleasure to work for several famous companies in France, from luxury brands such as Pierre Hermé to homely names well-loved by French people such as Jeff de Bruges.
Excellent retail advisor, I can help you find the voice that will help you strike amazing sales in English, French or Japanese and multiply your repeat customers rates to reach the skies. A promotion within months should follow
2001 - 2002
Tour Guide & trilingual interpreterAt 18, South Pacific Tours hired me to lead day trip tours and cater to their friendly but oh-so-demanding Japanese customers. Trilingual, I experienced the differences between textbook Japanese and real life business Japanese communication fit to work as a proud professional. I learnt how to provide Japanese-like service to guests!
I was also lucky to visit amazing places and transmit the love for our country to our visitors who enjoyed trekking, swimming, dining and learning in New Caledoni

とても良いレッスンでした。丁寧にわかりやすく教えて頂きました。優しい教え方なので、緊張せずにリラックスして安心して授業を受けることができました。宿題を頂いたら、できるだけやってみで、次のレッスンを予約します。ありがとうございました。
Today was my first lesson with teacher Karen. She taught me very politely and kindly. So I was able to take the class calmly without being nervous. Once I get homework, I'll try as much as I can. Then, I'll book the next class. Thank you very much :)

The lesson was very good! Today we reviewed content from the previous lesson and looked further into rules of Passé composé. I really appreciate how she is patient with my slow answers and is flexible with my speed of learning :-))

She helped me revise my CV. I had no idea what French CV looks like before the lesson, but thanks to her, I could see a big picture of what to and what not to include. I definitely recommend her lesson to everyone who would love to make their CV stand out :)
