Hello! My name is Zara, and I am an American living in the Kawasaki area with a genuine passion for working with children. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Conservation Biology and a TEFL/TESOL certification, and I have several years of diverse, hands-on experience caring for and educating children of all ages.

My background includes work as a substitute teacher, camp counselor, karate instructor, nature education intern, and even a princess performer — so I’m comfortable keeping kids engaged, safe, and having fun in just about any situation! As a martial arts instructor, I taught Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate to children and adults, emphasizing discipline, focus, and respect. As a camp counselor, I supervised children ages 5–11, and as a substitute teacher and 1-on-1 teaching assistant, I supported students from kindergarten through 6th grade with reading, math, and science.

I studied abroad in Tokyo in 2022 and moved to Japan in October 2025, and am currently working as an environmental scientist. I have been studying Japanese and have a basic understanding of the language, and am continuing to improve every day.

I am patient, responsible, energetic, and genuinely love spending time with children. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are play outiside, color and do crafts, as well as teach them about science (plants, animals, outer space, and more!). I also love Disney Princesses and martial arts, so if your child also loves these things I think we'd be a great match! I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!
