Methodology

You will find my teaching methodology to be interactive and flexible to be tailored to your own pursuits.

よろしくお待ちいたします！

Experience

I am a dual citizen of the UK and New Zealand, with strong multi-cultural experience having studied abroad at Japan's most prestigious universities in the Touhoku region - Keio University and Yokohama National University. Having studied the Japanese language to N2 level, alongside courses on Japanese history, pop culture and cinema, I have situated my whole career focus on relations in Asia and the Pacific. My other major is linguistics, therefore I am aware of the mechanics behind the language learning process. I have tutored English and numeracy for Australasian company NumberWorks n'Words in the past for ages 5 - 15.
