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！

As a native Spanish speaker from Latin America, I would like to share the beauty of our language with foreigners around the world. My focus is to help you achieve your goals, have fun & share about my culture in every class.

Also, having been immersed in English speaking environments since I was a child, I consider myself a native speaker of this language.

In both classes, I will keep you engaged by using a variety of dynamic activities that will help progress in your learning.

Would you like to have a conversation in French or Japanese?

I am from Paris, I speak four languages including English and Japanese. I like to share my passion for my mother tongue as I did during 3 years in prestigious universities.

Since I graduated with a master's degree in Japanese language and civilization, I have been teaching Japanese to beginners and intermediates online, as I did as a tutor at the University of Paris 7.

At university Paris 2, I taught french and explained the specific words applied in french law to foreign students. At university Paris 7, I supervised the dissertations redaction of foreign scholarship holders.

Since I’m in Japan, I organized courses about grammar and conversation to more than 30 students, from beginners to advanced level. I also made special preparation for language examination as JLPT and DELF exam, courses about French literature and history. Also, technical lessons about French gastronomy, chanson and other cultural fields.

Please feel free to contact me, I would be happy to respond to your personnal needs in French.

As an engineering student, I can offer you tutoring or further study depending on your needs, for math. We can look at misunderstood course concepts, do exercises to apply the course, or go further to prepare for competitions or excel.
I am currently a graduate student at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and specialized in math.

I have already given around 600 hours of private tuition in the past (over the course of 6 years) and have helped 17 different students, aged between 13 and 22 (from Middle School to University level). They were all very satisfied, which is why I'd like to continue my tutoring adventure during my study year in Japan. I completed a preparatory class at the Lycée du Parc in Lyon, France (PCSI-PC*) and entered École des Ponts, so I can assure you that my knowledge is very solid. I try to make my lessons as lively as possible, and to instill in you as much curiosity as possible about the subject you need to learn.
I know how to adapt to each student so as to teach with the optimum method each time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your requirements.

Howdy! That's a Texan greeting. I really enjoy socializing with students and helping them become more effective and confident communicators in English. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I believe in teaching mostly through discussing, reading, and writing about the things my students are interested in. I provide explanations and corrections first in English, and I only use Japanese translation or grammar explanations when necessary. My lesson fees listed here could change depending on location, time of day, type of lesson, your goals, homework, etc.

As a native French speaker currently finishing my Master's in Tokyo at Waseda University I'd be happy to provide help regarding either French or English. I can either teach the basics or more advanced courses; we can focus on whatever you prefer whether it is grammar, speaking, or even literature.
