About Me
Hello prospective students and parents! My name is Karen, I'm a graduate of the University of Tokyo and currently studying a Master of Laws at BPP Cambridge. I have a wide range of experience teaching languages, humanities and music both through private tuition and at various schools and institutions. I am half Japanese half English, though I have grown up in the UK so I can speak fluently in either language (British English/Japanese). I am a enthusiastic and patient teacher who will provide personalised support to help you achieve your goals. Whether in person or online, I would love to hear from you to set up a lesson!

Effective communication through speaking, writing and presentations are essential in Science and many other fields. I have taught biology and genetics, in a one on one, setting for several years. I have also begun to use these same skills to teach English. I prefer to use visual aids, creative worksheets and even meetings conducted at museums to help build a greater understanding of the subject.

I normally, teach individuals or pairs the maximum is a group of five. My teaching lessons takes place at a cafe or if the student is comfortable enough, then at the place is OK or at a library. I teach using an ipad because I store all prepared lessons on it so I'm well prepared for students. Grammar and word phrasing is important to learn as it is what makes up English as a whole. I might recommend an app for student to learn at least five words every week.

Researcher for the UN in Tokyo and graduate of a master's degree in international relations from Waseda and a double degree in political studies from Paris Nanterre and Paris VII universities, teaching and academic coaching are my passions. I have 4 years of experience in academic support (SES, po sciences, geo history, political philosophy) to high school students and 1 year as a learning coach at Rosetta Stone Learning Center (Ginza), where I gave more than 400 hours of lessons and created training on the science of learning. I offer academic support and coaching for students in the social sciences (geographic history, SES...) and the humanities (particularly philosophy). I offer an adaptive approach to teaching that meets the needs and adapts to the particularities and personality of each student. For each new student I will establish an assessment which delineates the expectations and skills of the learners. I also do academic coaching, teaching learning strategies, stress management, guidance and exam preparation.

Standardized tests such as NEET (India) and SAT(US Universities) evaluate students for proficiency in specific subjects prior to admissions in the specific institutes. These examinations are highly competitive in nature and require focused training to achieve high scores.

I deliver structured classes to students in biology with the aim to achieve maximum scores in these tests. With long experience of 8 years in educational training, I have worked with total of about 300 students teaching zoology for standardized tests.

Present curriculum will follow the syllabus and examination structure as set by the administrative body conducting the exam. In person classes start by March 2024.
