General Notices

Hi I'm Vicky! 

(Actually my real name is Victoria, but please call me Vicky)

I live in Cambridge, in England. 



I'm an online English teacher. I've been teaching English for 12 years. I have a CELTA (Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults) qualification.

I used to live in Japan. I lived in Kobe, Tokyo and Yokohama. 



Some of my teaching experience:
  • Berlitz, Manchester
  • Berlitz, Tokyo
  • ECC
  • Athenée Français (Tokyo)
  • Employees at JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency)
  • Employees at Hitachi Systems
  • Employees at Ricoh
  • Students at Tokyo Institute of Technology
  • Students at Waseda University
  • The British Red Cross (teaching refugees and immigrants)

I have experience teaching:
  • General English
  • Business English
  • Academic English
  • Exam preparation (TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, EiKen)


When I was in Japan I studied Japanese, so I understand the difficulty in learning a language which is very different.

I achieved JLPT N2, and am studying towards level N1.

I have also done some translation work whilst working at an art dealership in Ginza. 
 
I also took Japanese calligraphy lessons for four years. My original work was exhibited seven times in public galleries in Japan, on one occasion winning an award.



I have sold commissioned works both in person and online, including one which is on permanent display as part of the decor in an Italian fashion boutique.




****Please note that I am not accepting new students under the age of 18 at the moment****
