About Me

Hi, I’m your English teacher!

Hello! I’m an experienced English language teacher and CELTA-qualified tutor, currently teaching with Berlitz.

I really enjoy helping people become more confident in English. My lessons are relaxed, friendly, and practical, with a strong focus on helping you actually use English in real conversations, not just learn grammar from a textbook.

Every learner is different, so I adapt my lessons to your level, interests, and goals. Whether you’re learning English for everyday life, travel, work, study, or simply want to feel more comfortable speaking, we can focus on what matters most to you.

We might work on conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, listening, or simply spend time talking about topics that interest you. I’ll give you helpful feedback along the way and create a supportive environment where you can make mistakes, learn, and improve without pressure.

My goal is simple: to help you communicate more naturally and confidently in English.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your English-learning journey!

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.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hi! If you’ve always wanted to improve your English but don’t know where to start, or if you understand English but struggle to speak it, my classes are a good place to begin!

I want to make learning English feel easy, comfortable and, most importantly, enjoyable. You don’t have to worry about making mistakes or asking questions. That’s all part of learning! My goal is to help you feel more confident using English in everyday situations, one step at a time.

How will our lessons work?

Before we start, I’d like to get to know your current level and what you’d like to improve. Everyone learns differently, so I’ll adapt our lessons to your needs instead of following the exact same method with everyone.

We’ll work on:

* Vocabulary: Learning new words and expressions that you can actually use in everyday conversations.
* Grammar: Understanding grammar rules through simple explanations and examples, without making things unnecessarily complicated.
* Speaking: Practicing conversations, expressing your thoughts and becoming more comfortable speaking English.
* Pronunciation: Working on how words are pronounced and helping you speak more clearly.
* Reading and writing: Reading short texts, building sentences and learning how to express yourself in writing.

My teaching plan

We’ll start with the basics and gradually move forward as you improve. Each lesson will include a little explanation, practical exercises and time to actually use what you’ve learned. We’ll also go back to previous lessons whenever needed so you don’t feel lost or overwhelmed.

I especially enjoy helping beginners because I believe everyone can learn a new language with the right guidance, patience and practice.

You don’t need to know everything before joining my classes. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn, and we’ll take it from there!

I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your English-learning journey!

As soon as you book your session, don't worry about your child's homework.

Fun lessons led by educational games, to learn grammatical rules, verb conjugation and especially communication.
