Conversational English
日常英会話We talk about travel, everyday life and whatever you're into, until speaking stops feeling like hard work. Beginners welcome.
I spent 9 years living and working in Australia, and that's what these lessons are built on. Beginner conversation, business English, IELTS / TOEIC prep: we'll build the lessons around what you're actually after. Tokyo, Yokohama or online. Start with a free 30-minute consult.
Not "correct" English.
English that lands, and stays.
I lived in Australia from age 15 to 24. I was vice president of a Japanese students association looking after 500+ students, and I tutored English the whole time I was there. So I don't teach "correct" English in the abstract. What I'm after is your confidence in a real conversation. Online or in person, either works just as well.
Background
Mix them however you like. Most people start with two.
We talk about travel, everyday life and whatever you're into, until speaking stops feeling like hard work. Beginners welcome.
We go through the test section by section, work out where the marks are, then run mock papers. The idea is to get you to your target score without wasting months on the wrong things.
Emails, meetings and presentations, in the words people actually use at work. Useful if you're on a global team or thinking about a move overseas.
We work on sounds people understand the first time you say them, and on keeping up when someone talks at full speed.
Picking a school, settling in, getting your head around living somewhere new. I did all of it myself over 9 years in Australia.
What you pay depends on your goals, your level and how often we meet.
You won't be charged anything before you've seen a plan in writing. We settle on your goals in the free 30-minute consult, then I send the plan through with the price on it.
Four steps, from the free consult through to the monthly check-in.
Tell me where your English is now, what you want from it and how much time you've got. We'll sketch out a route from there.
I put together the lesson plan and the materials, built around whatever you're aiming at: exam prep, business English, or just talking more easily.
Online over Zoom or in person, whichever suits you. Every session finishes with feedback you can act on.
Once a month we look at how it's going and change the plan if it needs changing.
Thirty minutes, no charge. Tell me where your English is now and where you'd like it to get to, and we'll work out the route together.
