Hello! Do you need to improve your English? Great! Let me help! My goal is to improve your English communication skills.
In total, I have six years of experience teaching English, including two years teaching in Japan at two senior high schools. Thus, I am aware of the particular difficulties Japanese students have when learning English.
I have a degree from the University of Toronto (Linguistics and History). In addition to Japanese, I have formally studied other languages, such as French, Spanish, Arabic and Latin. I am well-read and I also have a strong interest in Japanese culture and history.
My approach to language learning is unique in that I emphasise communication over grammatical correctness. I firmly believe that the most important goal of language is to communicate and that if the other person can understand what you want to say, then you are successful. Knowing the details of grammatical rules is good but speaking with confidence is much more important.
My focus is on spoken English but I am also fully qualified to help with written English. I can help you with homework, essays, cover letters and more. I offer you what you will not find in ESL classes, textbooks and school courses. If you are truly passionate about learning English, give me a call.
