Hello - my name is Lisa and I am originally from Germany. I am living and working in Japan for almost 3 years now and since April I am a student myself improving my Japanese skills. Therefore I will be very flexible and happy to help you with English and/or German. I don't have any further teaching experiences, but supported students before back in 2012 when i was an exchange student at Sophia University as well as in 2015 when I did my masters degree.
I am fluent in English and don't really have a strong accent at all, which should make speaking with me quite easy.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and help you to improve your language skills. I am open to meet around my area at a coffee shop for example as well as somewhere around Tokyo closer to your area or online via Skype, Zoom etc.
Let me know if you have any questions. :)
Extra information
Please feel free to bring pen and paper and any other study material you would like to use for the lesson.

About Me
(German below) Hey - my name is Lisa and I am originally from a city close to Düsseldorf and Köln (Cologne) in Germany. I have been to Japan multiple times as a tourist and also as a student. At the moment I live in Japan permanently and used to work here for more than 2 years. However since I want to improve my poor Japanese skills, I decided to join a langauge school from April.

In my free time I love to travel, explore new places and do a lot of sports - well thats also because I love to eat! And Japan has a great variety of food and especially desserts.

Hallo - mein Name ist Lisa und ich komme aus einer Stadt in der Nähe von Düsseldorf und Köln. Ich war schon oft in Japan - sei es als Tourist oder als Student. Aktuell lebe ich in Japan seit fast 3 Jahren, von denen ich über 2 Jahre hier gearbeitet habe. Seit April bin ich allerdings selber wieder Student, da ich meine geringen Japanischkenntnisse verbessern möchte.

In meiner Freizeit liebe ich es zu reisen, neue Orte zu erkunden und mache gerne viel Sport - das liegt allerdings auch daran, da ich gerne sehr viel esse! Vor allem Süßes. Und Japan hat "leider" zu viele tolle Restaurants und Desserts!

Speak English more naturally and confidently in lessons designed around your goals, interests and current level. I am a native English speaker from the United States with 15 years of teaching experience, and I work with students from complete beginner to advanced level.

Lessons can focus on everyday conversation, business English, interviews, travel, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, academic English, presentations, debate or detailed discussion. Rather than following the same textbook with every student, I adapt the material and teaching method to what you actually need.

My lessons are friendly and comfortable, but also structured and purposeful. I explain difficult points clearly, correct mistakes supportively and give you plenty of opportunities to speak. As a long-term learner of Japanese and Korean, I understand how challenging it can be to express yourself in another language.

We can also build lessons around subjects you genuinely enjoy, including business, entrepreneurship, finance, technology, psychology, fitness, travel, manga, anime and current events. Whether you need English for daily life, professional development or meaningful conversation, I will help you communicate with greater accuracy, confidence and independence.
