Hello, I'm Keiko. I'm native Japanese, currently living in Prague, the Czech Republic.
I teach both Japanese and English.
Languages have always been my curiosity. The best thing about being a teacher is to be able to meet people from all works from life - from 2-year-old children to 74-year-old retired men, young students, bank managers, company CEOs, architects, university professors, etc.
My best teachers are my students. Throughout my career, I can't describe how much I learned from them.
My motto is my music teacher's words: "If you enjoy, you'll learn more." I'll do my best to motivate your language learning.
Let's have fun and improve your confidence in speaking English and Japanese!
Abschlüsse und Erfahrung
I've been working with languages ever since I started working in 1995, studied at an English vocational school majored in translation, then worked for a company as a sales assistant, responsible for customer service, translating the company's website, making pamphlets, attending conferences to give presentations of our products etc...
And 2006, my live has been changed. I became an English teacher.
After teaching English in Japan for nearly 6 years, I moved to the Czech Republic and teach English and Japanese. My students range from beginners to highly advanced.
- 2-year college education specialized in English/Japanese translation
- TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) diploma at Sprott-Shaw International Language School in Vancouver, Canada
- Cambridge TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate at Caledonian School in Prague, the Czech Republic
- 2-year college education specialized in English/Japanese translation
- 8 years as a sales assistant and in-house translator
worked for a company as a sales assistant and in-house translator, customer service to international clients
Teaching Experience
English:

Lehransatz
[Communicative, student-centered approach]
- Focusing on conversation skills
- goal setting with students
- focusing on building vocabulary and conversational phrases
- Goal setting with students, and providing advice to achieve their goals
- Motivate students by telling them their strengths and which areas to focus on, giving clear instructions for improvement.
Japanese --------------------------------
- reading/writing practice (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji) according to students' level
English -----------------------------------
- Provide comfortable, relaxing atmosphere in order for students to relax and speak in English.
My lesson style is based on my experience and the knowledge from the TESL and TEFL courses. It's student-centered, which means that students speak 70% or more time during the lesson, focusing on specific target language and let students practice as much as possible.
