Comments: Hello! I’m Keiko, a Student Partner at ‘We’. I have lived and worked overseas, studied a language from zero, and made lots of friends and valuable memories. From my experiences, I can understand how it feels to live in a foreign country. I also understand that everyone has different reasons for studying and living in Japan. It is my goal to use my experiences living abroad and as a Japanese teacher to support each student to the best of my abilities, so they can reach their goals and have a very fruitful experience in Japan. Let’s work together towards your goals! ’We’ are always here for you!

Comments: Everyone has different reasons for studying Japanese – to learn useful expressions for living in Japan, to learn useful expression that can be used at work or to learn about the Japanese culture. I will do my best to find the study method that is right for your situation and assist you in achieving your goals. Our mission at ‘We’ is to become your ‘home away from home’, so please feel free to talk to me about your study and about anything that you are concerned with.
