❗❗ I'll be on holiday beween December 18th to January 2nd.
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!
Extra: I briefly worked in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa in 2018. I have traveled to Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, S.Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, France and the U.S. I enjoy playing video and board games, and I paint in my spare time. I also LOVE Wombats!
Ich als Lehrkraft
❗❗ From January 1st 2025 I will not be accepting any new students. If you would like to have a lesson with me in the new year, please book a lesson before this date. The lesson may start in 2025.
❗❗ I do not teach Kid's classes. I will teach from ages 16+.
I have taught English for 12 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.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
❗❗ I do not teach Kid's classes. I will teach from ages 16+.
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.
Let's chat about anything and everything. And most importantly, let's have fun!

Very good topic of conversation: food. Karen makes the classes really interesting and enjoyable. He does everything possible to understand you despite the pronunciation, which, depending on the word, is very difficult for me.

It was our first full lesson. Karen asked me many good questions about my childhood. Her questions not only helped me express my existing thoughts in English but also contributed to expanding my thinking. Thanks for the lesson!

Karen is kind and competent. Conversations with her feel like genuine discussions rather than lessons, which greatly helps improve my English skills. She seems to prepare many questions in advance to make our conversations interesting. The more enjoyable our discussions, the more comfortable I feel using English, and the better I remember what she teaches me. I've experienced many teachers on italki, but Karen is the first one who made me feel intellectually stimulated and truly enjoy the lessons. I highly recommend her classes!
