General English and Business English, Native British tutor in Tokyo

From 28.17 C$ /h

Hello everyone,

Thanks for visiting my profile! My name is Thom (トム). I'm from Bristol, England. I speak clear standard British English and I have 7 years' experience working in the education industry in both Seoul and Tokyo. I currently work as a Business English teacher for a major language company I also work in curriculum development - creating published textbooks!

We can study business English or we can practice general communication. I think it is a good idea to do role plays (eg., English for restaurants, shopping, and travelling). We may also have a free talk about any topic you choose. I can help with exam preparation for TOEFL, TOEIC, and IELTS. If you need help with formal or academic writing, we can work on that, too!

There is a nice large cafe in Mejiro (Yamanote) that is perfect for lessons. I hope to see you there in the future!

Thanks
Thom

English could be frustrating to many Japanese speakers especially when it comes to pronunciation! We can work on that together!

I have a bachelor's degree in English literature and linguistics, so I enjoy teaching grammar and nuances. Please feel free to contact me and communicate your concerns so that I can customize your lesson.

I have a variety of programs to work with based on your level, interest and special request.

Would you like to have a conversation in French or Japanese?

I am from Paris, I speak four languages including English and Japanese. I like to share my passion for my mother tongue as I did during 3 years in prestigious universities.

Also, technical lessons about French gastronomy, chanson and other cultural fields.

Good! My name is Ricardo, and if you have a certain level of Spanish, but would like to develop it on a more practical level, I will be happy to be your teacher! If what you want is to improve your English, I also have a lot of experience with that language (I have obtained 111 in the TOEFL exam, and I have worked in the United States). If there is any kind of skill that you would like to improve in any of these languages, I will adapt the classes to make it possible.

Hello! My name is Ricardo, and if you would like to improve your Spanish or your English in a practical way (mostly by conversation), I could teach you! Write to me with the conditions that you would like to add to the course, and I would happily adapt my classes to your skill interest.

I was born and raised in Paris. I have just arrived in Tokyo, and it would be a pleasure for me to teach French or English, the first which is my native language and which I have always taken care to use it well, the second in which I am very comfortable.

And fully understand the student's needs.
Looking forward to meeting you, whether online or face to face. 😁

Hello.

Let us learn English. I am a patient teacher with experience teaching Japanese students. We can practice conversation, phonetics, and/or writing.

As someone who has recently started learning Japanese I can pay particular attention to differences between Japanese and English pronunciations and potential cultural pitfalls in daily conversations.

Both beginners and advanced students are welcome. Cafe lessons are possible.
