English is the universal language and vital to international travel. Whether you're learning for business purposes, to be able to book a hotel, or just a school test, I can help you achieve your linguistic goals.

As a teacher I aim for my students to be able to communicate effectively in spoken English in a variety of situations.

About Me
Hello everyone!

I'm Jon, and I've been living in Japan for the past 5 years. I speak Japanese fairly fluently and right now I'm working semi full-time as an international Preschool teacher. I live in Shibuya, but work near Daikanyama station and Kikuna station. I have experience teaching all ages, from 3-80, I am TEFL Certified, and have been teaching English for 3 years.

I take pride in the fact that I can help every one of my students reach their goals in language teaching. If you only want casual English, then I can put a heavy emphasis on teaching colloquialisms, whereas if you want business English, I can teach you how to listen and contribute to meetings.

後は日本語もぺらぺらです。ということは、本物の初心者でも大丈夫なんです。現在の英語力気にしないで!^.^

英語または日本語でぜひ連絡してください。

よろしくお願いします!
