I graduated from Teikyo University with a BA in International Relationships in 1994, and then I completed the Japanese Teacher Training Courses in SOAS, University of London in 2008 and 2010.

I completed in M.Ed., in 2018 and awarded for FHEA in Higher Education Academy in 2016. I have been teaching in the Higher Education sector since 2013 after teaching in a secondary school in the suburban areas of London. I joined King’s College London in 2018. I teach Japanese language courses from beginners to intermediate. I also completed a CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in 2020 for my personal development.

My interests are in Student Engagement in Languages – currently I’m interested in neurodiversity in language learning.
