About the tutor

Hello, I'm John and live in the United States. I moved back to the States after living in Japan for more than 25 years. In Japan I worked as an English teacher, photographer, and writer.


I'm currently teaching English online to students from many countries. Working together with a solid effort and commitment, we should be able to improve your speaking and writing skills. Language like many other skills needs to be use as often as possible. I can tailor lessons for your level, so you'll realize positive progress.


Sessions are flexible, covering - listening, speaking, grammar, vocabulary and writing. We will read and discuss articles, have casual conversation to improve speaking, comprehension, also summarize, and use storytelling to stimulate discovery and perception.

Any requests from practicing a job interview, giving a presentation, or real life situation simulation, could be included in the sessions.

In the end, spark interaction while engaging in conversation to create a landscape of passion, and shape your journey of language with positivity.

The class should help you gain confidence, especially in speaking. Consider scheduling a trial session to test the waters.

Specialties

  • Conversational English

    Small talk is a major part of communication in business and one's personal life.

  • Business English

    I taught business English to many employees of major Japanese firms. They were at different levels, so I customized the class to guide, challenge, and help them progress to be able to use English for their work.

  • English for beginners

    I've helped many beginners of English see improvement while I worked at Berlitz Japan. It doesn't matter what your age is, just that you have a desire to grow.

  • American English

    Over 30 years of teaching experience in Japan.

  • English for traveling

    Traveling is what we all do, and when in another country perhaps can use English to communicate our situation.

  • English for professionals

    I had many business classes at Japanese companies. Most of the students I taught in Japan were intermediate to advanced level, and the course was usually intensive because they were going abroad to work.

  • General English

    Pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, etc., / This is how I believe a student should prioritize learning a language.
