Over 18 years now, my students have been passing their English/ESL exams and have been able to tremendously improve their English skills to the point where they are able to now speak like Western native speakers! Essay writing is a huge area of focus in my classes as well!

Not only do I and my team work with exam instructors to get the most up-to-date exam requirements, but also provide to the student the most focused strategies that are EASY TO UNDERSTAND, FAST TO LEARN AND FOCUSED ON A PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH CURRICULUM.

I myself have scored 8.5 in IELTS and have helped my students achieve maximum scores as well:
IELTS: 9 band (over a hundred cases)
TOEFL: 120 points (56 cases)
SAT: Full marks (45 cases)
CELPIP: 12/12 (over 300 cases!)
This excludes the thousands of other students who have been able to secure university entries or who have qualified for top-notch jobs thanks to their newly-learnt English skills.

Likewise, these successes are the reasons why I love my job and continue teaching. Every day, I work hard towards achieving student results. The very moment they pass and thank me is something I live for day and night!

With my TEFL certification, 15 years of experience, work with examiners, professional training for English teaching skills, background of working with students from all backgrounds, and most importantly DOCUMENTED TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES, I am sure that your requirements for your next learning venture will be guaranteed and pleasing!

英語を学ぶことは、単語を覚えることではなく、自分を表現する力を育てることです。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

I’m a multilingual teacher who lives in Japan and understands the challenges Japanese learners face — especially with pronunciation, sentence flow, and confidence. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, understood, and motivated while learning English you can actually use.

Let’s build your English fluency together — one natural conversation at a time.

400 million people around the world speak English as their first language. Not only that, but English is listed as one of the official languages in more than a quarter of the countries in the world. What’s more, English is the rest of the world’s “second language”.In fact, one in five people on the planet speak or understand at least a little bit of English.This makes English one of the most useful languages you can learn.

Companies are becoming more international, and English is listed as an essential skill for more and more jobs. There are some organisations that now conduct all their business in English, no matter where in the world they are based. If you want the best paid opportunities, learning English is a great idea.

Also, as I said before, English is the world’s second language. This means that learning English makes it much easier to travel anywhere you want. Even if you don’t find other travellers or local people that speak your mother tongue, you are practically guaranteed to find someone who understands some English.

Most importantly, many of the world’s biggest news outlets, including TV, newspapers, magazines and radio, are produced in English. Some of your favourite films, TV shows and pop music are probably English-language. English is the international language of media and arts and so, if you want to access as much as possible for yourself, without relying on translations, it’s the most powerful language you can learn today!

A little bit about my background...

Currently I’m running a school in Japan and I work as a headteacher.

I have 10 years of teaching experience in both English and Japanese, providing group lessons and private lessons primarily in Japan and Toronto.

I grew up in Japan, therefore, I am fluent in Japanese. Besides English and Japanese, I’m also fluent in Farsi.
After graduating from a Japanese high school, I went to University of Toronto to study Life Science and graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science.
I was hired as a language teacher in one of the language school located in downtown Toronto.

While I was in Toronto, I aimed to provide maximum opportunities for both Japanese and foreign students to share their perspectives and opinions on different topics while understanding cultural, habitual and historical differences.

I have always been eager to learn different language and I had always loved teaching outside of work during my free time, which led me to build my career in education and I have obtained many years of professional teaching experiences over time.

Understanding and applying what a student needs is the key to my student's achievements and success, therefore, I will make sure to provide my students an excellent platform for enhancing the quality of their language they’re learning and applying their knowledge to the real-life conversations.

✦英語/日本語を勉強してきたつもりなのにいざとなると話せない!インプットしてきた言語をアウトプットするトレーニングをします!

✦新しい言語を学ぶことで多様性に触れる機会が増えます。自分の価値観が変わったり、意見の不一致が生じても柔軟に対応することができたり、「世界観が変わりました!」という方々もたくさんいます。

✦英語や日本語を使えるようになる事で、海外で仕事をするチャンスを得たり、留学して学校生活を最大限に楽しんだり、海外移住など大きな決断をする際も言語が通じるという点で少し安心できたりなどと可能性は無限です。

I have taught an intensive IELTS speaking and writing preparation course at the Nagoya University of Foreign Studies (NUFS) multiple times, and also coached dozens of university students by giving them feedback on hundreds of IELTS task one and task two essays. Thus, whether you are completely new to IELTS, or have taken it multiple times, I am the ideal coach to help you improve not only your IELTS score, but your English ability in general. Online lessons can be recorded for students to review later, as per their request.
