About Me

I'm from the UK and have been living in Japan for four years. I love to meet new people, and as a teacher my favourite thing is helping people gain confidence in speaking. It's a great feeling, seeing someone who was scared to talk become able to express themselves in their second language. My favourite kind of student is someone who likes to talk, and who is happy to give speaking a try even when they are not sure how to say something! If you're not at that stage yet, I would like to help you reach that stage!

Hi ! My name is Julien and I'm a Panda.
seriously though, I've been a french/english teacher in Tokyo for more than 20 years

If you want to learn French in a fun way, I'm here for you.
I've seen many students give up because the lessons were dull and the teacher too strict.
So I'll give my all to teach you what you need, the way you need it !

I mostly teach conversational french because that's what students usually need, but I also teach grammar and pronunciation (With the help of Gattegno's Silent Way)

You can request a first lesson and we can decide on a plan to achieve your goals.
See you soon !

I also do online lessons !

楽しいレッスンが嫌い?パンダとフランス語は興味ないですか?
きっと他の先生はつまらないレッスンできると思う・・・
コアラドイツ語はあるのかな?

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. I can also speak Japanese so we can communicate more easily. I look forward to speaking in French or English with you !

Speak English more naturally and confidently in lessons designed around your goals, interests and current level. I am a native English speaker from the United States with 15 years of teaching experience, and I work with students from complete beginner to advanced level.

Lessons can focus on everyday conversation, business English, interviews, travel, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, academic English, presentations, debate or detailed discussion. Rather than following the same textbook with every student, I adapt the material and teaching method to what you actually need.

My lessons are friendly and comfortable, but also structured and purposeful. I explain difficult points clearly, correct mistakes supportively and give you plenty of opportunities to speak. As a long-term learner of Japanese and Korean, I understand how challenging it can be to express yourself in another language.

We can also build lessons around subjects you genuinely enjoy, including business, entrepreneurship, finance, technology, psychology, fitness, travel, manga, anime and current events. Whether you need English for daily life, professional development or meaningful conversation, I will help you communicate with greater accuracy, confidence and independence.
