Hello Everyone! My name is Thomas and I’m a professional English teacher. I’ve been a teacher at Laurus International School of Science (Cambridge School) for the last 7 years and teaching different students who had various goals for an additional 6 years: Children, Conversational English, preparation for CELA (Cambridge English Language Assessment). Currently teaching at Sakura International School.

I hold a University degree in Accounting, but have a passion for teaching Kindergarten, Elementary, and College Students.

I hope that I can assist you in learning English, paying great attention to your needs, questions and doubts. I will focus on aspects that are important for you, so that you can apply your new knowledge right away!

Hope to see you soon in class!

The method of teaching depends on the student! I can help you learn Russian by
-- providing conversational lessons

-- checking your homework
-- helping understand Russian songs/movies
etc. (whatever you want- I will devise lesson plans based on the student's wishes). In addition to that, I will become your guide to Russian culture!

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! :)
