Japan is my country of birth. I just want to help people with acquiring a language that can open doors for them.
英語を勉強する生徒へアドバイス
My name is Ken Ohashi. I am Japanese and fluent in both English and Japanese. Since I spent many years of my childhood in British Columbia, Canada I have a Canadian accent. If you didn't know I was Japanese and I spoke to you in English, you might not think I am Japanese.
I enjoy teaching. I have experience in conversation classes (including situation) and TOEFL preparation classes IELTS classes, and English discussion classes. Since I have worked at international divisions of a couple Japanese companies, I am familiar with business English as well.
If you find it difficult to understand some things in the lesson, I can assist your understanding by adding explanations in Japanese if you would like.
I hope I can meet many people and you all can enjoy my lessons.
All English class, but can use occasionally use Japanese to help improve learning efficiency.
