• Professional English Coach • 20 Years Experience • CELTA/TESOL Qualified
My Background
Qualifications: CELTA, TESOL, and a Degree in Linguistics
Experience: teaching English for almost 20 years (kids & adults, business, academic, conversation, programming and development, all kinds of classes!)
Lesson focus: confidence, fluency, pronunciation, and practical grammar
I’ve taught a wide variety of students and goals — from complete beginners to advanced learners, and from casual conversation to exam and business English.
Who Should Study with Me?
Many Japanese students tell me they feel stuck — even after years of study and practice.
They often think:
I’ve studied for years, but I still can’t speak smoothly.
I know grammar and vocabulary, but my mind goes blank in conversation.
I can understand English, but I can’t respond quickly.
I use AI a lot in meetings because speaking feels awkward or embarrassing.
My pronunciation makes me worried people won’t understand me.
I feel nervous and I’m afraid of making mistakes.
If you have ever thought any of these things, my lessons are perfect for you. We focus on communicative skills, fluency, and success.
If you feel this way, I strongly recommend starting with a trial lesson. It’s a simple, low-pressure way to experience my teaching style and start speaking right away.
Popular Lesson Types
General English: learn new expressions, grammar patterns, and become more fluent and natural
Exam Preparation: IELTS, TOEIC, and other tests (weakness-focused + strategies)
Conversation + Pronunciation: flexible speaking practice + intonation and pronunciation coaching
Business English: interviews, meetings, presentations, emails, and workplace communication
Custom Lessons
I teach all levels and all subjects. If what you want to study isn’t listed above, please message me — I can create a custom lesson based on your exact goals.
What are my Expectations for the Class?
My #1 goal is that you feel motivated and safe. Learning a language can be stressful — I study languages too — so I understand how it feels. In my classes, you don’t need to be perfect. You just need to try, and I’ll guide you step-by-step.
Bring a goal (even a small one) — I’ll help you shape it
Speak as much as you can — I’ll help you find the words
Don’t fear mistakes — we’ll use them to improve quickly
Trial lessons are especially good if you’re nervous. I’ll keep it relaxed, support you carefully, and make sure you feel “That was worth it” by the end of the lesson.
