  • I have four teaching qualifications in English and French for junior schools and senior schools (Japan). I conducted research on personalised education for my MA and PhD after reading French Studies for my BA. 
  • I taught at Durham University in the U.K. for about 10 years. 
  • I was also an external examiner for a university in York, U.K. for 5 years (maximum period). 
  •  I contributed articles to three books about personalised education (written in Japanese, English and Italian). I have also written academic articles and have given presentations on personalised education at international conferences. 
  • When I go back to Japan, I give talks about personalised education, bilingualism, British boarding schools and British cultures etc.

My husband’s family and relatives graduated from boarding schools in the UK such as Eton College, Winchester College and Charterhouse, and they went to British and American universities including Oxford University (UK) and Princeton University (Ivy League, USA).
