Hello!

I’m so glad you have decided to take steps towards improving your English!! Learning another language does not have to be filled with hours of boring grammar lessons and vocabulary study. I believe the most effective way of learning another language is through fun, but focused conversations.

I have 3 years of teaching experience and 1 year of focused foreign language tutoring. I understand the struggles and stresses of learning another language, so I can help you overcome your problems!

I’m so excited to help you on your English speaking journey!

イギリスに長期滞在していて、暇を持て余している私、コミュニケーションのお手伝いをボランティアでさせていただきたいです。

東海道線でコーヒーを飲みながらおしゃべりするのが一番いいです。

お金無駄必要無い,コーヒー飲みながら会話しましょう、何才の人でも,男の子、女の子、どちらでも大丈夫。完全ボランティアなので、

I can also teach business administration.

Welcome to my tutoring class for Arabic, English, and Italian! I offer customized classes designed to meet your objectives, whether you are a novice or seeking to enhance your fluency. I will address fundamental grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and practical conversational abilities.
My pedagogical method is collaborative and student-focused, facilitating your confidence in speaking, reading, and writing Arabic, English or Italian. Participate with me in an enjoyable and captivating exploration of the languages beauty.

I have been living in Japan for nearly 15 years. I arrived in October of 2011.
Since that time, I have been very active as an English teacher.
I have worked in many areas, covering all levels, and types of students.

I have learned a lot, and gathered valuable experience.
Working in a ONE-TO ONE lesson style, ( face to face and ONLINE ) this has helped me learn about many individual styles and different cultures.

Furthermore, some of my personal accomplishments have been working with big companies - visiting customers' offices, and factories to teach onsite.

These clients have included:
Softbank.
Kodansha LTD publishing.
BOJ ( Bank of Japan ).
Mercedes Benz.
TEPCO.
Nikon corporation.
Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Company, Limited.
LOCCITANE JAPON K.K.
All Nippon Airways CO., LTD. [ANA].
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Osaka Co., Ltd.
Tokyo Kasei University.

Again, this has helped me to understand more about the Japanese business culture, and the possible problems that will arise when Japanese are learning English. This is a valuable asset for building relations and trust, in Japan culture, and business. I really enjoyed teaching in these places, and would really like to be more involved.

I take pride in helping other teachers, and people too. I feel the importance of helping new people - giving advice about working, student styles, and also life outside work. I know Japan can be difficult for newcomers. Humans need other humans to interact with, and we all have to help each other.

I’m told that I’m very approachable, kind, creative, always open to new ideas, criticism, and a good listener.
Again, building trust, and a relationship, and showing that I have an understanding of Japanese culture, and the problems, and difficulties students face, when learning a new language, and a new culture.

Over the past 15 years, I have conducted seminars / workshops on the TOEIC examination course. I have a good in depth knowledge of techniques, tests, and preparation. This is another aspect that I fully enjoy teaching, and fulfilling

Teaching culture is an interwoven part of my style, and this is important for students and clients to grasp, to use with their language skill. I teach, and support people with kind understanding, and support. It is always my goal to see people grow, and offer support in every aspect of study, and life.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, to help you achieve your goals

I have over 40 practice tests and ample materials to help prepare for the SAT English test. I have taught IB English, IB History, and ToK for 30 years. I have (and still do) worked as a University Counselor, and have helped students prepare for the SAT for 40 years.

Utilizing my expertise in linguistics, particularly in pragmatics and sociolinguistics, to enhance businesses in achieving their English-speaking goals for improved global communication. I can assist staff in any field. I support tasks including presentations, reports, meetings, emails, and conferences.

I have a double master’s degree in professional screenwriting. I enjoy creating engaging content on multimedia platforms to demonstrate my talent while consulting with high-profile companies in Japan.

Additionally, I have a strong proficiency in the Japanese language and culture.

Many people in Japan can speak basic English but do not have much chance to speak to a native English speaker to expand their knowledge and understand correct pronunciations and grammar. My classes are focused on conversations. Having basic conversation in English to help with your pronunciation and grammar or understanding words you do not know or better ways at communication.

These classes can be taken at home or in a public space such as a coffee shop or shopping mall or any public space to help with confidence in speaking in English.
