About your tutor
I’ve lived in New Zealand for over 28 years and have had quite a varied career, from working as a secretary and legal administrator to being a wedding MC and Japanese narrator. These days, I teach Japanese and Japanese cooking at a community centre and also offer private Japanese lessons. I also work as a Japanese Language Consultant and Language Class Assistant at a public high school in Auckland. I’m actively involved in the Japanese community in Auckland and serve on the committee of the Japanese Society of Auckland. Through my work and community involvement, I’ve made many connections within the Japanese community and have a good understanding of both Japanese and Kiwi culture.
