Hello! My name is Mike, and I’m excited to help you grow your confidence in English.
For nearly 10 years I have worked in the technology field, where I regularly trained people to use new tools and concepts. Alongside this, I’ve also spent many years helping my Japanese wife develop her English skills — from pronunciation and vocabulary, to nuance and natural conversation. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to be patient, clear, and supportive when guiding someone on their language journey.
I know that learning English can sometimes feel difficult, and mistakes can feel frustrating. But I believe every mistake is just a step toward improvement — and with the right approach, those setbacks can become leaps forward. My goal is to create a relaxed, encouraging space where you feel comfortable to try, practice, and grow.
In my lessons, I focus on:
Building confidence in speaking and listening
Expanding vocabulary and using it naturally
Understanding nuance and culture so English feels less “textbook”
Practical English you can use right away in daily life, business, or travel
I enjoy teaching students of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced learners preparing for important situations like study abroad, business meetings, or presentations.
Let’s enjoy the journey together, step by step. I look forward to meeting you in class!
