Hi, my name's Haruki, nice to meet you!
Introduction
I'm born and raised in Australia but have Japanese parents. I am fluent in both languages and have a strong passion in teaching and sharing my knowledge. I was in Australia until I graduated high school, and ever since I've been in Tokyo for the past 3 years.
I have experience teaching English to Japanese students in the past during high-school. I taught international school students that came from Japan to Australia for about a year helping with vocabulary, pronunciation and conversational skills.
I can help Japanese people who are looking to improve their English as I can clearly communicate in both languages and I understand both languages and its difficulties/differences. If you want to be able to communicate without any struggles, speak clearly, be able to pronounce and hear words correctly, then I can help you achieve that.
Lessons I offer:
- Pronunciation: Working towards native fluency, improving word stress, toungue/mouth positioning and activities for all levels.
- Conversational flow: A stress-free casual environment, discuss anything you'd like, work, hobbies etc. Working on listening comprehension and reply speed, being able to flow smoothly during a conversation.
- Alphabet Masterclass: Covering the alphabet, going through letter by letter and all the different pronounciations each letter has.
- Kids Lesson: School level English, broadening vocabulary, working on pronunciation and conversational skills, writing etc. (can adjust lesson target depending on what you'd like your child to prioritise first)
- Business-level English: For people looking to travel overseas, working holiday, using everyday English required in the working space to be able to get employment.
- Listening Comprehension: Working on being able to identify and understand what a native speaker is saying, speaking at full speed during a conversation.
- Reading Comprehension: Go through any text of your choice, news articles, song lyrics, a book etc. Improve vocaubulary, understanding text & meaning.
- Vocabulary/Slang/Connector words: Improving vocabulary, and implementing slang/shortcut words to use during a conversation for a more free flowing conversation, using words native speakers use.
Lessons will be conducted mostly in English, but I can support in Japanese if needed, good for beginners and when explaining difficult concepts/words.
*For NEW Students*
If you are a new student with me, please first book the free trial lesson with me so I can understand your English level and priorities, then I can recommend you which lesson to take with me and prepare a lesson tailored for you.
I look forward to working with you :-)
