Hi - my name is Carolyn. I am a friendly 58-year Australian lady and I live in Perth, Western Australia. I lived in Nagoya more than 20 years ago. I was an English teacher there for eight years. I really enjoyed living in Japan and still I miss many things such as food and friends.  

After returning to Australia in Y2000 I didn’t teach again. I worked mostly in Mining Administration. I have a lot of free time these days and want to connect with Japanese again.

I studied Japanese language (including hiragana, katakana and kanji) in Australia and Japan - many years ago. I didn’t speak Japanese for a long time and I have forgotten so much.  Maybe you are the same with English? I would love to help you.

Pronunciation – is one of my strengths. I have some really good pronunciation exercises.       

Communication – is very important. Tell me what you want or don't want and I will do my best.

• I have experience teaching in Japan
• I will listen
• I have patience
• I can help you 

I am so looking forward to making new friends and connecting to past students from Nagoya.
