Tutor: Keiko Mutsunaga        Konnichiwa! I am Keiko Mustunaga.        I came from Japan to New Zealand in 2000 initially to study        at Waikato University. My studies consisted of Linguistics and Applied        Linguistics, including Second Language Teaching. I have been enjoying        a relaxed New Zealand way of life and beautiful New Zealand nature.        I am from an early childhood education teacher background in Japan.        In New Zealand, I have taught school children and adults, including        at a Japanese School in community Education classes. I like working with        children and enjoy seeing the progress in their development.        I have met many people from different backgrounds and I have been        enjoying communicating with people from different cultures. In my        spare time, I do exercise at the gym. I like flowers and arts too. I would        be able to introduce Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) and calligraphy        to students as well.        Learning a language means learning about the culture as well. Japan has a        unique and interesting culture, so I would like to share this with students. The        class could include cultural learning consisting of origami, manners, Japanese        songs, and games, etc.        I look forward to meeting you soon.
