東京都【英会話エスワンS1】マンツーマンレッスン

I have materials and methods that are fun and engaging. Bringing the mind and body together through movement, phrases, and role play will help you learn the language fast, and remember what you have learned. and have fun while you learn. I believe that learning through kinesthetic ways, such as speaking and moving simultaneously helps students get the language in their bodies and brains and keep it there.

I came to Japan with my husband because he got a principal job at a Japanese/Canadian Private School. I am learning Japanese and I love Japan. I became an English and French teacher many years ago because I love languages and I love teaching. Currently, I am teaching English 9 hours a week at a Japanese Private Junior and Senior High school. I am integrating with the Japanese culture, but I am looking for more hours of teaching and I feel confident and excited about teaching privately or in small groups.

I don’t believe in only using English to teach students, unless their English level is very high. This "immersion" method only works with children, whom I do not teach.

The text book "English Grammar In Use" is preferred for lower level students and "On Point" for advanced students as it helps teach critical thinking, but I can teach from your preferred text book too.

Japan has always been a dream destination for me. Its rich culture, beautiful aesthetics, and seamless blend of tradition and innovation felt like the perfect place to explore and grow personally and professionally. As someone passionate about art, design, and psychology, I’ve found endless inspiration here—from the architecture to the way people value mindfulness and creativity in daily life. Becoming an English teacher felt like the ideal way to connect with people and share something meaningful. It’s not just about teaching a language—it’s about helping others build confidence, express themselves, and reach their goals. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for me to bring my interests into the classroom, like using photography, art, and even psychology to make learning more interactive and engaging. For me, teaching is more than just a job; it’s a way to connect cultures, spark creativity, and create an experience that’s as enjoyable for my students as it is for me.

I can help with daily conversation, TOEIC preparation, and Business English. I’ve been teaching English at schools and privately since 2020. My lessons often use roleplay to practice real-life English, and I can create lessons just for you!

I first visited Japan with my family when I was 8 years old, and I instantly fell in love with the culture. From that moment, I dreamed of living here. In 2015, after graduating high school, that dream came true when I enrolled in a Japanese university. I worked hard to achieve native-level Japanese, and now I work for a Japanese company where I use both Japanese and English every day. 日本に惚れたきっかけは、8歳のときに家族と一緒に日本を旅行したことです。 その瞬間からいつか日本に住みたいとう夢を見初めました。 そして2015年には高校卒業後、日本の大学に進学してその夢を叶えました。 ネイティブレベルの日本語を身につけるために一生懸命勉強し、 現在は日本の会社で働いており、日本語と英語の両方を使っている生活しています。

I am passionate about fostering a positive learning environment where students feel supported and motivated to succeed. I aim to create an inclusive classroom culture that nurtures academic and social-emotional growth.

I had the opportunity to teach various subjects within the English langauge such as vocabulary, conversation English, building, checking Eiken to students between the ages of 2-14 as well as adults. In this role, I developed and implemented lesson plans that were both engaging and aligned with state standards.

I came to Japan a year ago to progress further into Japanese society. The fundamental of this is to learn Japanese and as someone who is learning a new language, I have a good understanding when it comes to supporting the students in the best way possible.

I like to teach students what they want to learn at a pace which they find comfortable. The texts used are dependant on the student's needs and ability.

I teach adults of all ages and levels of ability.
I give lessons online via Skype, Zoom, Line and Teams or inperson in my home, the student's home, offices, and cafes.

Online/Onsite English Teacher



I am sure that I can contribute to any company that
understands that in our fast changing society is not
enough to speak English well, language ability alone
is not enough to guarantee international success.
Without an understanding of our counterparts, cultural
pattern and sensitivity to cultural differences,
effective international communication is virtually
impossible.
Companies now require specific courses that blend
language skills, communication techniques and
cross cultural training, my objective is to produce
more of these courses.

I taught English to Japanese students when I was in college in San Francisco and I fell in love with Japan and Japanese culture.

Student-provided texts allow for lessons to be more focused on each student’s particular needs or interests.

I came to Japan with my then-wife, so that she could go to school here. I got a job teaching English to pass the time and really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed living here, so more than 13 years later, I’m still here.

Just be comfortable and have fun while learning the language. I often use phonic journey textbooks and we can textbooks for students from 4 to 15 years old. I also use Interchange textbooks for high school students. Besides, I think Prism textbooks are suitable for university students.

I do have almost 2 years experiences in teaching English for Japanese students. Also, I'm an online English teacher for those who want to improve their TOEIC score

I have been living in Japan for almost 6 years and the reasons for that are because I'm interested in the language, the people and the culture here. However, while living in Japan I realized that English- the international language is needed anywhere including the countries with English as the official language, Japan and even in my home country Vietnam. It's not only the communication tool but also the important key that helps me open my mind and have different perspectives. That's why I ended up with the English communication major and became an English teacher who's teaching English as a foreign language.

I usually do my best to put my students at ease and i don’t mind being casual since it’s usually the best way to make the other person wants to learn a language.

I used to work at a music school back in France for 1 year or so and teached music to children.

I came to Japan to study Japanese Art and improve my Japanese, i also love to teach people languages like English or French !

I can teach Conversational English, and IELTS, TOFEL, TOEIC (exam English). We can talk about any topic that interests you and practice English together.
I can switch to different accent so British English and American English are both ok for me.

I have 1 year experience in teaching IELTS English for high-school students at New Channel Ltd. (Top educational institution in China), my students’ scores improved 60% after my tutoring for 3 months, and I was highly appraised and recommended by their parents.

I would like to explore my personal potential after Master’s degree, and Japan has triggered my interest for its comfortable living environment and delicate culture. As a graduate majoring in Clinical Biochemistry, I am seeking opportunities to root my career here. Meanwhile, I also want to exchange my English skills

Lessons should be fun!

I have over 30 years experience teaching English in Japan. I have taught all ages, levels, and types of English. I am happy to help anyone who would like to learn.

Love; what else? (More details are available at Trial Lesson.)

Hello! My name is Abdoul, and I have one year of experience teaching young children in a Tokyo kindergarten. My teaching style is all about making learning fun and interactive. I believe the best way to learn is through activities that make you smile—whether it's dancing, playing games, or storytelling.
As someone who loves working with kids, I know how important it is to create a positive and supportive environment where students feel comfortable to express themselves and explore a new language. My goal is to make sure every lesson is not only educational but also enjoyable, helping you build confidence while having a great time.
Whether you're just starting or looking to improve, I’m here to help you on your English learning journey. Let's have fun learning together.

Education/Teaching experience

I came to Japan because I was drawn to its rich culture, fascinating history, and unique way of life. Living here has been an exciting adventure, and I wanted to immerse myself in the community while contributing in a meaningful way. Becoming an English teacher seemed like a natural fit because I enjoy working with children and helping them learn new skills. Teaching in a kindergarten has given me the chance to share my enthusiasm for learning while building strong connections with the kids. I love watching them grow and develop their language abilities, and it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of that process.

They depend on the students needs and wants
