Hello,
My name is Richard and I am ethnically Jamaican, but I lived in the United States from a young age so I speak American English. I currently work as a talent here in Tokyo Japan! I am currently enrolled at Sophia University and I have studied at Waseda and I.C.U university. I am currently studying Japanese and Philosophy so I speak a lot of Japanese. I learned Spanish from living in Spain. I also have had experience teaching children English in Spain. Since I have experience learning and teaching multiple languages I will be better equipped to understand the needs of my students and more knowledgeable of what methods work the best in language learning than most other teachers. I really do understand the struggles of learning foreign languages and want to help you overcome this barrier more easily with my expertise. So please contact me now for the best, cheap and fun English lesson in Tokyo!
Lesson Method:
If the student has no personal preference I usually break the lessons down into three parts. First is topic centered conversation where we cover vocabulary and sentence structures relevant to the topic and then discuss it in great details. This makes it easier to remember larger amounts of vocabulary at once since the words are all related. The next stage is to tell a short story about my life and experience to the student and have him summarize and question specific parts of the story. This allows the student to become better at listening and understanding and being able to recollect events and stories in his/her own words. Lastly, the student can read an article and write a summary or his opinion if he is advanced enough or we can watch a movie or show together where he/she is expected to ask questions and explain to me what is going on every 5-10 minutes or so. Throughout my lessons, I emphasize that the student tries to speak without thinking too much and try to think in that language. This allows for a faster progression of the language.
I will always correct my students if they use very unusual sentences so you will never have to worry about speaking English poorly! I guarantee you will be speaking more confidently after my lessons as I provided a friendly and warm environment for you to grow and develop your skills!
P.S: I can teach American and Jamaican slangs too!
Thank You!
