About Karen

Hi, I'm Karen, a native speaker with 8 years of teaching experience.

My goal is to help you speak with confidence in real-life situations, whether you're meeting a Japanese person, ordering food at a restaurant, or asking for directions while travelling there.

With so many self-study tools like available these days, like textbooks, YouTube, 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!
【More about me】
・I have lived in the US, Sweden, and Australia
・I have a Persian cat named Kiwi
・I’m based in Auckland long-term (not on a working holiday), so you'll have a consistent tutor
・I love: Modern Family, The Office, Mission Impossible, TED Talk "Isolation is the Dream Killer, Not your Attitude"

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!
