About Karen
Hi, I'm Karen, a native speaker with 8 years of teaching experience.
With so many self-study tools available these days, like textbooks, YouTube, apps, and AI, I focus on offering something different: real conversation practice, personalised feedback, encouragement, structure, accountability, and a supportive space to build your confidence.
In our lessons, you'll learn essential words and phrases, and then we’ll put them to use through fun, interactive activities like role-play, card/board games, boardgames, pictionary, and more - because fun makes it stick!
Feel free to contact me, and let’s discuss how I can help you on your learning journey!

My own language learning experience:
I lived in Sweden for two years and took language classes at university.
The focus was mostly on input, so I didn't get much chance to speak or receive feedback from the teacher, and I didn’t feel very confident in my pronunciation.
One day, at a supermarket, I wanted to ask a staff member where the flour was.
It’s a simple sentence - “Var är mjölet?” but I felt so anxious.
Is my pronunciation okay?
What if he doesn't understand me?
What if I can't understand his reply?
After going back and forth in my head for a while, I didn’t approach him at all.
8 years later, I try to offer the kind of lessons I wished I had - where you practise, make mistakes, gain confidence, and be ready for the real world!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Karen.
Perfect! Various different teaching methods which are all engaging and focused on using Japanese
Perfect! Our 5-year-old absolutely loves his Japanese play sessions with Karen
She prepares thoughtful toys and picture books that really capture his interest, and the sessions always feel natural, playful, and engaging rather than instructional.
What we appreciate most is how relaxed and happy our child is during the sessions — he looks forward to them every time and often doesn’t want her to leave.
Her warm, patient manner creates a safe and enjoyable environment where language exposure happens naturally through play.Perfect! Friendly, and engaging lessons. There is a lot of structure and the lessons are customised to your specific needs. They are also super fun! Thanks Karen. :)
Perfect! Amazing teacher! Karen uses great learning tools to help my girl. She does fun activities while learning. My daughter mentions that she always reviews what they learn from past lessons and does crafts while learning! My daughter said that her teaching really hypes her up for the next lessons and never wanting to skip another lesson!
- An amazing student.Karen's response :
Always ready to learn and have fun!
I’m lucky to be her tutor.
