Yumi I. Tutor Profile

Hello, everyone!
 
Nice to meet you! My name is Yumi, and I'm an English teacher based in Tokyo. I teach English conversation and have over 20,000 hours of teaching experience.
 
I studied in the UK and am bilingual in Japanese and English. I also achieved a perfect score of 200 on the TOEIC Speaking Test. Having learnt English myself, I understand where Japanese learners tend to struggle. I can explain things in Japanese too, so please don't worry if you're not yet confident in your English.
 
I have received training in the OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview), an interview-based assessment of speaking proficiency. Drawing on this experience, I can assess your current speaking level, identify areas for improvement, and recommend learning methods that suit your level and goals.
 
Would you like to be able to do any of the following?
 
- Chat freely in English
- Understand the English spoken in films and TV dramas
- Use English confidently at work or when travelling
- Revisit the English you studied at school, starting with the basics
 
I value your personal goals in learning English. That's why I offer lessons tailored to each individual.
 
Let's start with a trial lesson! We can talk about your current level and goals, and work out together how best to move forward.
 
Enjoy learning English together!
 
[For Beginners]
If it's been a while since you last studied English, or if even simple sentences don't come easily, you're more than welcome. We'll start with short sentences and practise at a comfortable pace. You can ask questions in Japanese whenever you're unsure, so there's no need to worry.
 
[For Intermediate Learners]
If you know what you want to say but struggle to put it into words, I'll give you plenty of opportunities to speak, while introducing more natural expressions and vocabulary to broaden your range. We'll also work on listening skills, identifying together what you find difficult to catch and gradually improving your comprehension.
 
[For Advanced Learners]
In my lessons, I encourage students to take the lead and do as much of the talking as possible. If you'd like to discuss current affairs or social issues in depth, please let me know when you book your lesson. I can also help you tackle more advanced challenges, such as expressing your opinions logically and understanding subtle differences in nuance.
 
I look forward to meeting you and helping you enjoy learning English!
