Hello, I’m Charlotte—thanks for stopping by!
I’m an Australian-qualified teacher with a Master of Teaching and Learning, which I completed with distinction in 2022. Before graduating, I spent over seven years teaching in Japan and bring warmth, flexibility, and a student-centered approach to every lesson. In Australia, I’ve worked as a freelance Japanese tutor and taken on short teaching contracts in remote community schools. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree with a major in Japanese language.
My goal is to make learning both fun and effective by using creative, personalized activities that support each student’s unique needs.
I’m currently back in Tokyo, where I offer online Japanese language tutoring. Japanese has been a passion of mine since high school—I majored in it at university, lived in Japan for many years, and now speak it daily with my husband, who is Japanese. My lessons are held via Google Meet and supported by engaging, level-appropriate PowerPoint presentations tailored to your learning style and goals.
If you or your child are interested in learning Japanese, I’d love to help you get started. Feel free to get in touch!
