Are you a Beginner in Japanese OR a Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced Speaker in English OR both? I am a half-Japanese and half-Australian lawyer based in Leuven, Belgium. As a former Japanese-to-English translator and English-language tutor, I have years of experience teaching English to students aged 5 to 50 as well as cross-cultural communication skills. I am committed to working with you to support your conversational fluency and confidence in English and/or Japanese with sessions designed to be practical and to meet your specific objectives, such as but not limited to: • (Japanese and English) beginner's lessons designed to help you retain new vocabulary and phrases; • (Japanese and English) everyday conversation practice to improve listening comprehension (in a US / UK / Australian accent); • (Japanese and English) developing cross-cultural communication skills; • (English only) maintaining your advanced English-speaking skills; and/or • (English only) practicing professional / business / legal English. Note: I speak very basic French, Spanish, and German – if you are a Native speaker of any of these languages, I would be happy to support you as best I can by translating any relevant terms into Japanese / English during our lessons. *** 初めまして! 英会話、始めてみませんか? 私は日本育ちのハーフ(オーストラリア)です。ベルギーに滞在中です。ここ2年間はシドニーで国際弁護士として働いていました。それ以前は、英会話講師と翻訳の仕事をしていました。 英会話に興味のある方はぜひご連絡ください!
