Private American English lessons in Tokyo and Yokohama.

From 18.02 € /h

These days, everyone is seeking out English. Let’s learn at your pace and choose content you’re ready to be engaged with. Beatles music? You got it. Classic books? Okay! Straight up grammar explanations? I’m your guy.

J’ai aussi passé pas mal de temps en France. Bien entendu, la langue française a une grammaire assez compliquée, mais une fois que l’on comprend ses règles particulières, on ne les oubliera plus jamais.

Lessons are designed to help along the student on their journey to learn French, regardless of current ability and in accordance with their specific goals.
After a cursory evaluation of current abilities, a customised curriculum is created to optimise learning, as well as helping to prepare the student to pass any exam they wish to take to validate their french skills.

For students who just wish to better their french skills, the 45 minutes lessons are recommended.
For students wanting to prepare to pass a specific exam, 90 minute lessons are recommended.

For beginners, the lesson will be conducted in both english and french.
For those with basic skills, the lesson will be conducted in french, which will of course be more simple and adapted to the student's level.

Hi! I’m Adrien, a native French speaker with a passion for teaching French. Growing up in both France and the UK, I’ve experienced the challenges of learning new languages firsthand. While I’m fluent in French, I had to learn English myself, and that experience has made me especially empathetic and skilled at helping others overcome language barriers. I understand what it's like to struggle with a new language, and I’m here to make the learning process easier and more enjoyable for you!

Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching French to students of all levels , whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to refine your skills. I focus on making my lessons interactive, engaging, and tailored to your personal goals.

What you’ll learn in my French lessons:
✔️ Fun and easy grammar and vocabulary to help you express yourself confidently.
✔️ Speaking practice to help you hold real conversations in French.
✔️ Pronunciation tips to sound more natural and fluent.
✔️ Writing skills – from basic sentences to more complex essays.
✔️ Listening and understanding French in various contexts (movies, songs, etc.).
✔️ Fun activities to improve your reading and comprehension skills.

This lesson aims to help the student differentiate and correctly use a / à, and / est, son / sont, using fun and interactive activities.

The session begins with a detective game where the student spots homophone errors in sentences. He then discovers the rules using flashcards that associate each word with a simple trick.

Various games help to anchor this knowledge: the target game to complete sentences, the right path game where the student physically chooses the right answer, and the hidden words challenge where he guesses and justifies a homophone in a sentence.

Finally, the student becomes a teacher and invents sentences for the adult to complete. A quick review concludes the session, with a small challenge to complete at home.

Learning is based on manipulation, play and experimentation, making the session dynamic and effective.
