My name is Kate! Thank you for looking at my profile here on CafeTalk. I really enjoy teaching English, my teaching style is casual and fun! I have been teaching English in Japan for 4 years now. I specialise in teaching communicative skills in English, pronunciation and vocabulary as well as EIKEN speaking, reading and listening skills. I try to make each lesson fun and engaging and I am considerate of your English level. I want you to feel comfortable and relaxed whilst learning.
I am also currently learning to speak, read and write Japanese! So ... I know how hard learning another language can be and how important it is to keep practicing! With that being said I am confident I can help you with your english goals and help you to improve your english skills.
Why I think you should choose me to be your tutor?

I am passionate about learning and teaching
My lessons are engaging fun!
I have experience teaching EIKEN (Ages 7-14 years).
Completed 150 hour TEFL / TESOL certificate.

I love to chat! However, I am also a great listener.
About me:
I am from Australia, Port Macquarie, New South Whales. I have been living in Japan in a beautiful mountanous town called Hakuba, in Nagano prefecture. I first came to Japan to snowboard and travel and have now been living here for almost 4 years-I fell in love with the Island! My dream is to travel the world, learn different languages, teach, meet new people and eat lots of yummy food!!
Hobbies:
I have many hobbies, but my main hobbies are reading, cooking, swimming, gardening, camping, snowboarding, bicycle riding, hiking and traveling.
I also love spending time with my friends and family and enjoying the outdoors together. What are your hobbies? What have you been up to?
Thank you for the lesson today, Kate.
Although it was my first lesson, you were very friendly and I felt like I know you for a long while!
I also like the article from 'Breaking News', because it includes a lot of topics and questions to discuss.
Thank you so much!
