My name is Kara. I am a CELTA (Pass A Grade) qualified and experienced English teacher from Melbourne, Australia. Though I graduated from university with a Bachelor of Laws, I’ve discovered over the last ten years of teaching that this is my true passion.
Apart from English, I can also speak Japanese. This is because I lived in Gifu, Japan for three years while working as an ALT. Living in Japan allowed me to explore many of my passions: teaching, meeting new people and learning new languages.
After I returned home to Melbourne, I began teaching adults from many different countries at an English college. I learned a lot from this job; in particular, how to create an effective, student-centred lesson. As a teacher, I enjoy building rapport with students and being creative in lesson planning. I love helping students grow in ability and confidence.
My hobbies include learning languages, running, writing and drawing (I practice every day, though I’m not very good yet!) I also love travelling – I’ve visited Europe, the US and Asia. My favourite destination is, of course, Japan. So far I’ve been to over 30 Japanese prefectures, and hope to return soon to experience more!
