Some information about me...
I was born in London (England), grew up in Munich (Germany) and graduated from University in Melbourne (Australia). I've been in Japan for 13 years! I live in Tokyo with my wife and daughter and in my free time I write music and sing in a band - we have 3 original albums. My favourite Japanese food is katsu don.
English teaching experience...
I have 13 years of experience teaching English to Japanese students of all ages. I have enjoyed teaching at a conversation school for over 10 years (kids, teenagers, adults, business lessons) and a university for 3 years.
English teaching style...
I'm friendly, easy to talk to and passionate about helping students improve their overall communication skills. I listen carefully and am able to give clear explanations of grammar and vocabulary and help students with their pronunciation. I'm happy to adjust my speaking speed to suit any level.
授業中は英語のみ使いますが日本語も少し話せるので、何かわからない時は日本語で出来るだけ説明します。
I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you to become a more confident and fluent English speaker.
Mike
