I am an experienced business English teacher with 24 years of teaching experience in Japan. I took time off work to get my master's degree in teaching English (TESOL). I would like to keep up my teaching skills, so I am looking for private students who would like to learn business English, either at their office or a cafe.

- cultural differences
