Hi! I’m Chelsea and I was born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. I love sushi, Starbucks, and anime! I graduated from the University of Hawaii Manoa with a bachelor’s degree in Second Language Studies. I have been teaching English since 2016. My goal is to help students have fun with English!

前職は保育士として、さまざな年齢の
子どもと関わってきました。1年間オーストラリアに留学する中でベビーシッターとして過ごし、私自身の英語に触れることがたのしいなと感じた経験となっています！
英語で思いを伝えたり、あたらしい発見を一緒にたのしみながら、ひとりひとりに寄り添った保育をしていけるよう子ども達に関わっていきたいと思っています！
よろしくお願いいたします。

前職は幼稚園教諭をし、様々な年齢の子どもと関わって来ました。
英語はオーストラリア（ブリスベン）で7ヶ月間生活し、現地の保育園でボランティアをして来ました。

持ち前の明るさを活かし子供達とたくさんの発見をしながら成長していくことを願って保育をしていきたいと思います。

どうぞよろしくお願いします。

I have just started teaching at Knock Knock Preschool, but I have been working here as a teaching support for almost three years.
In order to learn more about educating children, I am studying education at a distance university.
My lessons are fun and easy to understand, but I like to challenge the children to try new things too! Depending on the level of the children, I use different teaching elements in the lessons. Catchy songs, challenging worksheets, books and crafts that will touch their creativity. I motivate and encourage the children because I want them to enjoy every English lesson!

See you at Knock Knock,

How’s it going! My name is Julian, and I have been teaching English since 2018. I also tutored students in history and English while I was in high school (2009-2013). I play guitar and sing as a hobby, and write music to pass the time.
My method of teaching is through activities and singing, to keep the mind busy and your energy high and focused .
We , at Knock Knock, hope to see you soon !

I have been teaching English in Japan since 2017.
I like to have fun and engaging lessons where everyone can enjoy and also learn and improve their English skills.
In my free time I like to play soccer and video games.

Hello! I’m Evyn and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I’ve been in Japan since March of 2022. I’m currently a full-time Japanese language student and work at Knock Knock English. I have a degree in Journalism-Public relations and I am planning on getting my master’s degree in Education next year, here in Tokyo.

When I was younger, I was in the US Army and also worked on an ambulance as an Emergency Medical Technician. I really love Japan and feel a sense of accomplishment from being able to teach Japanese people English.

I have many hobbies and likes but I especially love baseball, pizza and photography. Nice to meet you!

I love working with young children, and gained a qualification and 6 years of experience in early childhood education in England before moving to Japan. I've been teaching English to Japanese kindergarteners for over 8 years and it's still such a joy to interact with them each day.

During classes I get a feel for each child's interests and level of ability, and try my best to continue to develop their skills with fun activities and games, and at playtime I always join in!

In my free time I love going to live music shows, reading books and comics, cooking (and eating!) and video games.

I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, and have been learning languages all my life. I grew up speaking Spanish at home but have used English and French in school since the first grade! I earned a bachelor’s degree in International Relations with a focus on foreign languages in the U.S.A.

I love teaching languages because I can relate to my students’ struggles when learning a new language, and can hopefully help them confidently use their new language skills.

In my free time, I love walking around the city with my husband, reading a book, and spending time at cafes and museums.

Hello!
My name is Akari and I was born in Myanmar but raised in California, Los Angeles.
I came to Japan almost 2 years ago to finish my University as well as to experience living in Japan.
I am trilingual and learning language is one of my hobbies as well as teaching them.
I love spending time with children and hope to have fun times with them in the classroom.
Some of my other hobbies include watching movies, cooking, and playing games.

Nice to meet you!

I was born and raised in Japan and moved to the U.S. when I was in high school. I have many years of experience working as an assistant teacher at preschool both in Hawaii and in Japan. Also, I've worked as a lead teacher at an international preschool school as well. I love working with children and help them learn new things everyday! Their smiles are my happiness!!
宜しくお願いします:)

My name is Sarah. I moved to Japan from New Zealand. My favourite things to do are go for bike rides and hang out with my friends and family. My favourite area to visit in Japan is Enoshima because of the beautiful beach and lovely people.

Hi, I’m Kent born and raised in Auckland New Zealand and I moved to Japan at the start of 2022. I feel New Zealand is very different from Japan, and there is a lot to enjoy about both countries. I am very passionate about teaching English as it can give students the chance to travel overseas in the future and experience these differences. My hobbies include snowboarding, video creation, hosting events and visiting different restaurants as the food in Japan is so good.

大学で保育・幼児教育について学び、英語に触れる楽しさを知ってもらいたいと思い子どもたちと接しています。

子どもたちと一緒にスクールでの生活を楽しみながら、お互いの個性を受け止めていけるようにサポートしていきたいと思います。

現在、小学生の母です。
子どもの頃に訪れた南米をきっかけに外国文化に興味を持ち、若い頃は各国を旅して周り、イギリスで暮らしたりしました。
マーケティングのお仕事を経て母になり、子どもの成長を間近に感じるとともに、毎日のハプニングや発見がとても興味深く「もっと子どもたちと関われたら！」と思うようになりました。
子どもたちと一緒に楽しみながら、豊かな感性や自ら取り組む力を育むサポートをしていけたらと思っております。
よろしくお願いいたします！

子育て奮闘中の双子の母です。
前職では、モンテッソーリ教師•プリスクールアシスタントとして、シンガポール&日本のインターナショナルスクールで働いてきました。
子供たちの元気パワーを全力で受け止め、
キラキラの笑顔とたくさんの「出来た！」を引き出していきたいと思います。
どうぞよろしくお願いします！！

アメリカのシアトルに４年間留学し、英語を学び、
その後、外資系の会社で働き英語に触れた生活をしてきました。
出産、育児などでしばらくそういった環境から離れていましたが、またこういった機会に恵れることができ、とても嬉しく思っています。自身の子育ての経験や英語を生かし、子供達の成長を見守りつつ、楽しくのびのびと英語を学ぶサポートができればと思っています。

カナダに7年在住し、日本に帰国致しました。
カナダに留学時、トロントという都市で音楽学校に通い、その後結婚を機にカナダへ移住し、現地でボイストレーニング教室をしておりました。
様々な国から移民が集まるトロントは、それはそれは人種のるつぼ。人々が人種の枠に囚われず、英語を一つのツールとしてコミュニケーションを取り、その姿を初めて目の当たりにした時の驚きと感動は今でも忘れません。
在住した7年間は、沢山の異文化に触れ、そこで得た経験は私の人生を大きく変えました。
未来を担う一人でも多くの子供たちに、日本の文化と異文化を認め合い、真の国際交流のできる国際人として、また英語が楽しいと思うことで世界に目を向けるきっかけを作ることができる様、努めて参ります。

Hello, my name is Kaori, and I was born and raised in Osaka. I attended Osaka University of Arts where I studied literature. After my studies, I opened my own business and provided private vocal training to people of all ages. In 2008 I immigrated to Toronto, Canada, and enrolled in music classes. During my 7-year-stay in Canada, I had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with people from various cultures, religions, languages, and backgrounds. This experience enriched my life tremendously. Despite our differences, we were unified by our humanity, our interests, and our passions.

My passion is to encourage people to reach their full potential by motivating them with positive speech and positive reinforcement. I thrive on providing others with a safe space to communicate their thoughts and feelings and embrace their uniqueness. At Knock Knock Preschool, I will utilize my passion for supporting the children, developing both educationally and emotionally, and helping them broaden their horizons by embracing the beauty of diversity.

I am delighted to be at Knock Knock Preschool and look forward to being a valuable team member.

よろしくお願い致します。

幼少期にベルリンで過ごし、音楽留学でモスクワに住んでいました。留学時にさまざまな国の友人と過ごした時間はかけがえのないもので、多様な文化や価値観に触れグローバルに物事をみるきっかけとなりました！
また音楽を子どもたちに教える活動もしており、いつも子どもたちの感性豊かな表現に刺激と喜びをもらっています。
みなさんと楽しい時間を過ごせることを楽しみにしています！

二児の母です。

親戚がアメリカ在住だったこともあり、小さな頃から渡米する機会が多くありました。大学卒業後はライターの仕事をしていましたが、もっと英語ができるようになりたい！という思いからアメリカへ短期留学に。

その後、結婚し出産を経て育児をしていく中で、子どもたちの豊かな発想や無限の可能性に触れ、"子どもの成長に携わる仕事がしたい"と考えるようになりました。

英語を学ぶ楽しさを子どもたちと一緒に分かち合いながら、その成長を見守り、一人一人のステップに寄り添った環境づくりのお手伝いができたらと思っています。

どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
