A little about me

Hi,I'm Karen. I have been teaching English for over 10 years. I've taught in schools, universities and language centres in China,Japan and Vietnam. I became certified as a Cambridge Speaking Examiner in 2018.

I love getting to know my students and finding out about where they are from and what they enjoy doing. I think students learn best when they are in a fun and relaxed classroom.

In my free time, I love to be outdoors, cycling or hiking.I love the mountains and getting lots of fresh air.
