About Me

I'm from the UK and have been living in Japan for four years. I love to meet new people, and as a teacher my favourite thing is helping people gain confidence in speaking. It's a great feeling, seeing someone who was scared to talk become able to express themselves in their second language. My favourite kind of student is someone who likes to talk, and who is happy to give speaking a try even when they are not sure how to say something! If you're not at that stage yet, I would like to help you reach that stage!

English could be frustrating to many Japanese speakers especially when it comes to pronunciation! We can work on that together!

I have a bachelor's degree in English literature and linguistics, so I enjoy teaching grammar and nuances. Please feel free to contact me and communicate your concerns so that I can customize your lesson.

I have a variety of programs to work with based on your level, interest and special request.
