I have lived in Japan for over 4 years. I have taught English in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. I also studied Japanese in Kyoto, so I can help you a little in Japanese.
I think it's important to connect English with your interests. Grammar books are a useful tool, however learning a language requires continuous and dedicated practice. If you connect English to your personal interests and passions, practicing will come natural and studying will be easier.
I like to understand your learning style and goals. This way I can make the perfect lesson plans for you. Your trial lesson will give us a chance to meet and for me to better understand you and your goals.
It's important for me to give you useful ways to study and practice outside of lessons. My job is to point you in the right direction, correct you, and motivate you. The rest is up to you! I love to see my students succeed and become confident using English.
がんばりましょう！！
