English is a difficult but versatile language. In Japan, unfortunately, it is taught like math. English, however, is more flexible than math equations, and should be taught like art. Depending on what you feel, who you are talking to, and what you are talking about, the type of English you use will be completely different. A doctor or teacher will use a different set of vocabulary from a singer or rapper.

I have 12 years experience teaching Japanese students how to express their unique selves in English. I can help you get to your English goal.
Extra information
Please choose a test you would like to aim at as a goal. You don't need to take the test, we just need a way to concretely measure your progress.

About Me
I've lived in Japan for 12 years teaching English and exploring Japan. I enjoy teaching motivated students. If you are not really interested in learning and just want a conversation partner, I am probably not the best teacher for you. If you have a goal that you are aiming for, then I am here to assist you.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy photography, visiting new places around Japan, making umeshu, drinking umeshu, watching action movies, and listening to music. I have a 9-year​ old cat and a Canadian roommate.

Santiago
Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,
