Jane Genovese

Jane Genovese is the owner, coordinator and presenter of Learning Fundamentals that gives students the edge over their studies.

Jane gives workshops on goal setting, memory techniques and managing stress and emotions in a fun and interactive way.

Currently studying her sixth year in a double degree in Psychology and Law at University, Jane wants students to walk an easier path than she has while studying.

“High school was stressful. I worried a lot, told myself I was stupid and couldn’t do it: totally irrational thinking. I also didn’t know how to study smartly, but through a bit of trial and error and a lot of research, I found ways that really helped me. I want to share this with others, so I created these workshops”

Jane learned her trade early on in life by being involved in public speaking since age 10 and winning State Champion Public Speaker at age 12.

She has also taught internationally at Zhejiang Normal University in China and worked for Perth companies GoZone and The Phoenix Team.

Lidia Genovese

Michiyo Fujimoto

Michiyo Fujimoto is responsible for running Learning Fundamental’s workshops in Japan! Having studied shuwa (Japanese sign language), English at the Kyoto University of Foreign Studies and worked as an in-flight interpreter and flight attendant for nearly 10 years, Michiyo developed a deep passion for communication and language. She believes language is an important tool that ‘can open up new worlds’ for people.

After leaving the flight industry for environmental reasons, Michiyo became a teacher at a private college in Kyoto. She noticed her students lacked confidence, motivation and experienced a lot of unnecessary stress in their lives regarding the future.

One of Michiyo’s goals is to help students reduce their stress and give them opportunities to discover their own special qualities and uniqueness.
