As a native Spanish speaker from Latin America, I would like to share the beauty of our language with foreigners around the world. My focus is to help you achieve your goals, have fun & share about my culture in every class.

Also, having been immersed in English speaking environments since I was a child, I consider myself a native speaker of this language.

I teach Languages including French, English and German in Japan.

I'm a very positive, calm and happy person, as well as serious in my work. I use to work in a IT company so it allows me to be very patient and logic for my explanations.
If you want to discover French, English or German, send me a message, I would be happy to help you in your language skills.
In the same way, if your children are struggling in Mathematics, Physics and they need someone to boost their homework, I would be delighted to share my knowledge with them.

Learning English, Arabic, and Japanese is important for several reasons.

English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and it is the primary language of international communication. If you can speak English, you can communicate with people from all over the world, which is important in today's globalized society.

Arabic is the fifth most widely spoken language in the world and is the language of the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam. Learning Arabic can help you understand Islamic culture and history and can also be an advantage for doing business in the Middle East.

Japanese is the ninth most widely spoken language in the world and is the primary language of Japan, which is one of the largest economies in the world. Learning Japanese can give you an advantage in business and can also help you understand and appreciate Japanese culture and history.

Learning any language can also have cognitive benefits, such as improving memory and problem-solving skills.

In conclusion, learning English, Arabic, and Japanese can be very beneficial both personally and professionally. It can open up new opportunities and help you understand and communicate with people from different cultures.

🇬🇧Hello! I'm Erika from Tokyo.
I previously worked in a trading company and in a music agency in Japan.
I studied Russian at university (C1 level) and French in Paris (B2 level), so I truly understand how challenging it is to start a new language and continue until you reach an intermediate or even advanced level.

I enjoy playing musical instruments, dancing, and doing crafts.
As a naturally curious person, I don't want you to give up learning something new just because you feel you may not have enough time for self-study.

With me, you can simply keep going at a steady pace —
I will remind you of essential points, help you build habits, and guide you in every lesson, so you can make progress without stress or worrying about time management.

I can work remotely and can offer lessons early in the morning Japan time, so I am available for students in Europe or America as well.

Please feel free to contact me with your preferred schedule.

I look forward to supporting your Japanese learning journey!

Hello, I taught English for a total of 10 years in Tokyo, Brazil and Argentina.. I have taught over 1000 students in businesses, private residences and coffee shops.. I feel the most important thing about being a good teacher is teaching self confidence to students. Then the students talk more and find other ways to practice what they are learning. I will adapt my lessons to the students weaknesses and to what they would like to get from learning English. I have been to over 88 countries so my lessons are never boring..I really love to teach English because it’s the most useful language for business and travel.
