John R Tutor Profile

Hi! I'm John, from the USA.

I lived in Japan for five years and was employed both as a gaijin talent and as an English teacher (for Honda and Toyota). I've also taught high school students.
I was based in Tokyo and Sapporo.
Most of my talent agency jobs were based outside of Tokyo, so I've traveled extensively in Japan.


I'm TESOL certified and graduated with a BA in Economics from the University of California at Santa Barbara. I have experience tutoring accent reduction to intermediate and advanced level English students. 

In addition to American English tutoring, I also offer palmistry sessions, and I'm certified in hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.


I speak intermediate-level Japanese and German. 

My hobbies are internal martial arts.

As a digital nomad, I write fiction. 


I look forward to speaking with you!
