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 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.
As a graphic design graduate,I have previously taught art and photography.

I am CELTA and TEFL certified.
I have studied Japanese art, literature and Japanese bookbinding at Tokyo University, Keio University and Waseda University.
I am an author who has been published in English, Japanese and French.
I am also a copywriter and feature writer for the Japanese mens' fashion magazine, The Rake Japan.

My wife is Japanese. After living for many years in England, we decided to sample life in Japan. I chose to be an English teacher as I enjoy meeting new people and helping them to attain their hopes and dreams.

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.

My job transferred me here and I've felt really lucky since then. I really would like to help change the way English is used and taught in Japan so that it can be used more naturally by my students. Listening and reading is important, but so is speaking!

Depending on the age group but...
- Lifelong learning: Education should be seen as a lifelong process, and policies should be in place to support ongoing learning and skill development throughout a person's life.
- Safe and supportive learning environment: Schools should provide a safe and supportive learning environment, free from bullying and other forms of harassment.
- Parental involvement: Parents should be encouraged to play an active role in their children's education, through things like volunteering in the classroom and attending parent-teacher conferences.
- Early childhood education: Early childhood education programs can help children develop the skills they need to be successful learners later on.

I never had an official work experience but I did volunteer hours on teaching middle students when I was in high school. I also went to a local school in Bangkok and taught elementary kids English as well.

I originally came to Japan to pursue my undergraduate studies, however, I have always had a passion of teaching English to kids. Though I am a native speaker who has been learning English since young, I know the struggle of learning a new language. As of matter of fact, I myself, grew up learning to 4 different languages: English, Chinese, Thai, Japanese. I understand how hard it was for me, so I wanted to help younger children from experiencing what I have, and simply make their studying progress easier and more efficient.

Work hard and try to have fun! The key to mastering a new language is to have motivation, try to enjoy the subject, and to work hard. By taking small steps forward, reaching your desired goals won't be a problem!

Depending on the level and interest, the texts used may be different.

- Teaching basic English to students at Wat Bang Khlo (October 2019)
- Teaching basic English to students at a local school in Lopburi, Thailand (December 2019)
- Mahidol Music Therapy teaching experience (November 2020)
- Private tutoring for IGCSE English (January 2023)

I came to Japan as a University student studying International Liberal Studies and quickly became interested in teaching English here as I find many people wish to learn English but struggle to either start or master it so I wish to help share my knowledge and skills.

Depending on your language ability and learning goals, appropriate texts will be used

English tutor at リキオ語学学校

I am currently a sophomore at The University of Tokyo (東京大学). The opportunities this university presented were my main reasons to choose to come to Japan. I am currently pursuing my undergraduate degree in Environmental Science. In parallel, I am conducting research in laser physics and biotechnology. I love teaching. Apart from English, I am also a Math and Science tutor. Tutoring gives me the satisfaction that very few activities do. So why not utilize my free time to do something I enjoy and that's helpful to others.

Any textbooks the student are required to use.
