Hi! I'm a British English tutor with a fun and flexible style. I focus on your needs and interests, and I customize every lesson to match your level and goals. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, we’ll work at your pace.

My lessons are conversation-based, not textbook-heavy, and follow CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) — a global system to track your English progress from beginner (A1) to advanced (C2). You'll improve real-life communication skills while having fun!

I teach British English, and I’ll also help you understand the differences between UK and US English (vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling, etc.).

Lessons are always relaxed and friendly — perfect for students of all ages. I also offer fun English events and outings for more natural, real-world speaking practice.

Let’s enjoy English together and build your confidence step by step!

About Me
Hi!
I'm from the UK and have been living in Japan for the last 8 years. I currently live alone with my husky, Jez, and her puppies 🐕😅(rehoming). Together we enjoy camping trips🏕️, visiting temples ⛩️& shrines, and playing in rivers 🏞️& the sea🏖️. 😄

I love teaching. I believe learning should be fun.
After teaching English in Japan's kindergartens, elementary & junior high schools, Eikaiwa's, and International kindergartens, I decided to go freelance with my tutoring job.
This way I can teach that are more suitable for my students and am more flexible.
I now use a curriculum developed based on CEFR, which is conversation-based, textbook-free. I use PowerPoints to teach, with games, videos & music.
I also like to take my lessons outdoors, no better way to learn than by having fun. In previous cases, I've taken my students' to the zoo, done Easter egg hunts or lesson games in the local park, or down Halloween or Christmas parties.

André
"You will love French, the French and France"

Hello!

My name is André.

I am a French teacher [from Lyon] with over 35 years of experience [since 1990] in teaching children, teenagers and adults. I have worked for over 30 years, in London, UK between July 1994 and September 2024 in different cultural centers (BBC London too), universities, private schools, singing studios, etc...

I am currently living in Osaka, Japan since September 2024 where I teach French and English (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Level). In addition to that, I am studying in a language school, the Japanese language (Level A2: Elementary).

I also have experience in teaching online, almost every day for 25 years now, and I really consider it the best new way to learn languages, so useful and effective for both teachers and students.

During my lessons, I will help you progress in French using methods that are perfectly adapted to your learning style and your current language level. We will work on your weaknesses and strengths to find the best method for progression.

We will cover many different topics to optimize your French language learning. You will learn how to use vocabulary and grammar in real-life situations such as daily conversations, live readings of French texts, sentence and text writing exercises, and discussions on topics of your choice.

I would be happy to teach even if you want to start from scratch. From the beginning, I focus especially on learning the right pronunciation. I know it can be difficult sometimes but you can be really comfortable: French pronunciation is less difficult than you can imagine.

I've been a real movie enthusiast (not just French) since my childhood and I would be happy to introduce you to some movies from my country and talk about the ones you've already watched that way too!

Feel free to immerse yourself in learning French while sharing together your impressions of the rich culture of this fabulous country: FRANCE... 🇫🇷

See you soon...
