About Me

Hello, nice to meet you. My name is scot. I am from the United States living close to Mitaka and Kichijoji. I have been living in Japan for over 16 years. I have taught every age from children of 4 years to seniors. Most of my experience is teaching Elementary, Junior and Senior High students. I have also taught Business English for corporations such as Kawasaki, Norichukin Bank, and Marubeni as well as government agencies Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nuclear Regulatory Authority. I love travelling and experiencing new cultures. One of my favorite things about teaching English is meeting new people and helping them improve their knowledge and skill in communicating. I feel that communicating in another language can help everyone in understanding the world and the many ways of living.

Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am native Spanish speaker from Uruguay. I am offering individual and personalized virtual Spanish classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the Spanish language either to prepare international exams, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the Spanish language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

Hi, there:

How is going?
My name is Xue. I am originally from China. From 2010, I went to the US for college and spent my next 10 years there. During that time, I acquired tons of experience of English skills from all aspects, including degree accomplishment, job hunting, business communication, casual conversation, social networking, etc. I am a fluent English and Chinese Mandarin speaker, willing to teach in either language you like. I am a responsible, trustworthy, and easy-going person. When it comes to education, I believe in combining the study and your interests, which will prompt your learning desire and hold up your learning passion. More importantly, I want to be your friend and help you in any way I can :)

Lessons are designed to help along the student on their journey to learn English, 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 improving conversational skills, 30 minute sessions are recommended.
For students who just wish to better their english skills, the 45 minutes lessons are recommended.
For students wanting to prepare to pass a specific exam, 90 minute lessons are recommended.

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

I am a doctoral student at Meiji University, in Tokyo, and I would like to bring my experience in teaching Spanish to foreigners to Japan.

In Salamanca, the mecca of Iberian Spanish, I was able to teach young people from all over the world from the first levels of acquisition such as A 1 and 2 to the more academic Spanish of levels C.

I live in Tokyo, so I could travel or teach my courses online. I speak naturally Japanese (N1) and English.

If you want to start studying Spanish, take it up again or just start from the beginning, don't hesitate and contact me!

My name is Gabriel, and I'm a certified English Teacher from South America! I speak both Spanish and English at a native level. I've recently relocated to Tokyo and I'm on an adventure learning about your beautiful country and language. I majored in English and Linguistics, so I have a lot of knowledge about how language acquisition works in our brains! My previous jobs were at a bilingual school and online working with adults, preparing them for exams and teaching them English for future life challenges. In classes, we're going to use games, technology and talk about YOU a lot! Besides, I'm going to share with you very interesting practical tips for passive language acquisition ( for outside the classes). Looking forward to getting in touch with you! :)

Teaching norwegian to people in Tokyo who want to go to Norway or just find it interesting! I provide coversation practice, as well as pronouciation correction and grammar lessons. I can teach in English. I was born and raised in Norway so I speak norwegian fluenty!

My English class will be fun. I would have kids come up to the board and diagram sentences in English grammar. They will gradually learn by also having fun. Ever since I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. I admired my teachers throughout my schooling years; the good and the bad. There is always something you can learn from them, whether that be the content they taught in the classroom or the manner in which they handled themselves in tough or awkward situations. One can teach anywhere – it’s just a matter of creativity. Tutoring is a fantastic way to bring this dream to life.

Hi there! I'm Joy from Singapore. I'm Singaporean Chinese with roots in north China - I was born in Shandong but I've lived in Singapore since I was 2. That's why I speak both Chinese and English at a native level. For Chinese, I use putonghua (standard Chinese pronunciation) and for English, I use a neutral accent when teaching.

I love learning languages and meeting people from different backgrounds, so I'd be more than happy to learn about your language goals. I'm also able to customise the lessons to suit you. If you need a shorter or longer lesson, please let me know.

Having taken the old HSK6 exam (back when there was no HSK7-9), I totally understand how challenging it can be. I'm trained to teach HSKK and HSK. I can also help you practice and improve conversational Chinese.

If you need help getting started with Chinese, or if you're feeling stuck and aren't sure how to progress, please feel free to drop me a message! :)

Pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, conjugation will now be easy for you in no time.
Children and adults will have basic knowledge of French to better explore French culture.
Let's go!!!!

French can be a challenging language, but don't worry – I'm here to help!

In our lessons, we'll start by focusing on speaking, building your confidence with everyday phrases and understanding basic sentence structure. Once you're comfortable, we can shift our focus to the areas you most want to improve.

Feel free to reach out and tell me a little bit about yourself. I'll create personalized lessons tailored to your needs – whether you're looking to improve vocabulary for travel, boost your professional French, or dive into specific topics that interest you.

Together, we'll make progress at your pace and ensure that you get the most out of every lesson.

I tailor each lesson to the unique goals of every client. At the same time, I have a particular passion for conversational English, cultural exchange, vocabulary enrichment, and creating a relaxed atmosphere where learners feel confident regardless of their current language level.
