Hello Everyone! My name is Thomas and I’m a professional English teacher. I’ve been a teacher at Laurus International School of Science (Cambridge School) for the last 7 years and teaching different students who had various goals for an additional 6 years: Children, Conversational English, preparation for CELA (Cambridge English Language Assessment). Currently teaching at Sakura International School.

I hold a University degree in Accounting, but have a passion for teaching Kindergarten, Elementary, and College Students.

I hope that I can assist you in learning English, paying great attention to your needs, questions and doubts. I will focus on aspects that are important for you, so that you can apply your new knowledge right away!

Hope to see you soon in class!

English is becoming ever more important in Japan and now is the perfect time to start learning! Whether it's starting from scratch, brushing up your conversational skills, preparing for a TOEIC test or helping with a business document, I offer tailor-made classes with the appropriate materials to help you improve, whatever your age or ability.
I have 6 years experience of teaching English as a foreign language and I strive to help as many people as possible become comfortable and confident when communicating in English. I also prepare all of my own material and exercises that are included in the lesson fee.

This is a service specifically designed to improve your conversation skills in english. Depending on your objective (hobby/travel or business), I will adapt the tone and subject of our conversations. We will only be talking in english so make sure you are comfortable enough for that.
Meeting in a cafe instead of your residence can also be an option, make sure to mention that when getting in contact with me.

Welcome! Beginners, intermediate, or advanced students looking to practice English, learn or become fluent.
Short-term classes or long-term tutor available to help you along your English-speaking journey.
Native English, originally from London but currently living in west Tokyo.

My name is Gabriel, and I'm a certified English Teacher from South America! I speak both Spanish and English at a native level. I've recently relocated to Tokyo and I'm on an adventure learning about your beautiful country and language. I majored in English and Linguistics, so I have a lot of knowledge about how language acquisition works in our brains! My previous jobs were at a bilingual school and online working with adults, preparing them for exams and teaching them English for future life challenges. In classes, we're going to use games, technology and talk about YOU a lot! Besides, I'm going to share with you very interesting practical tips for passive language acquisition ( for outside the classes). Looking forward to getting in touch with you! :)

I have multiple years of experience teaching English to all ages. I can help with reading, writing, spelling, grammar and pronunciation. I am warm, friendly and patient. I'd love to set goals with you and work hard to achieve them. Let's do this together!
