Ehy everyone, I'm Chiara (キアラ) from Italy, currently living my dream to visit Japan. I'm located in the Shimokitazawa area and I'll be staying here until the 14th of March. I've been travelling quite a lot in the past five months: I lived in Sydney, Australia, for three months, then came back home, then left for London, then went back to Italy again - then the 12th of January I finally took the plane for Tokyo.
My experience as a teacher is modest, I used to help my classmates with english/italian homeworks (.. Well, most of them basically used to copy mine) and the kids I looked after during my Au-Pair girl experiences.
Since I'm not familiar with the japanese language it will be difficult for me to explain you english/italian grammar rules as well as teaching/talking to someone that doesn't speak english at all.
I can do well with role-plays and conversation, which are the best way to improve your listening/speaking skills.
Besides the standard english class, which means meeting at the student's place and having 1 or 2 hours of lesson, we can eventually arrange an 'english-only morning' or 'english-only evening' where we can work while having a nice walk around the city or while eating a delicious bowl of Udon. I am a really easy-going person and I'd be happy to help you improve your english as well as telling you about italian's culture and traditions.
Here's my availability during the week:
Monday | 10:00 - 12:30 / 19:00 - 22:30
Tuesday | 09:00 - 12:30 / 19:00 - 22:30
