Hello everyone! My name is Koara Yamamoto (山本こあ海), but you can call me Coco.
I grew up in Perth, Australia for eight years and moved to Tokyo. I attended Seisen International School in Setagaya-ku for about nine years and decided to study at the University of Sydney for four years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Science (Psychology) and a Postgraduate degree in Criminology. I have recently graduated and came back to Tokyo.
I love making jewellery. I travel to a nearby studio and receive lessons. I make all sorts of jewellery such as rings, earrings, and necklaces.
I also love to swim. I swam competitively from elementary school to high school. I have experience teaching children basic swimming techniques.
Lastly, I love to travel. I think meeting new people and absorbing new cultures opens up many perspectives and opportunities. It has definitely affected my perspective of both the world and myself.

I'm very enthusiastic and optimistic! I will make sure to provide you with fun and engaging activities throughout the lessons.

It is my pleasure to be a part of your exciting journey of learning and excelling.
