I have been teaching Japanese language and culture (kimono, calligraphy, tea ceremony etc) since September 2003. Having worked at FCO Language Centre, the British Library and other institutions and schools, I have developed my teaching skills using both traditional methods and creative methods. As a private tutor, I have taught Japanese to people who are 4 – 85 years old (various nationalities). I enjoy meeting new students and try to find the best learning methods for each student.
