I first came to Japan to visit friends. I liked it so much Imoved here:)

I fell in love with a Japanese girl. We are still happily married after 35 years! And I love my language.

I was born to missionary parents and raised in Japan, but as I am American, I was educated entirely in English from the time I was very small. Growing up in a predominantly English-speaking environment and attending international schools where over 95% of the students themselves were native English speakers, English became my first language. I first developed a passion for teaching English in college, when I joined an all-native English speaking volunteer English conversation club which assisted students in Japanese universities with their English-Speaking Society (ESS) circles. I realized that the public school system in Japan puts Japanese people at a disadvantage in their English education, especially when it comes to pronunciation and conversation, and I wanted to help them overcome that disadvantage.

I was not good at English when I was younger, but I found it interesting from my high school teacher. So, now I'd like to tell you everything I learned, too.

I came to Japan to study Japanese at first. I’ve got an English teaching job after that, so I stayed here.

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

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.

I came to Japan to teach English to contribute to early language education and foster cross-cultural understanding. My goal was to help young learners develop strong communication skills while experiencing the rich cultural exchange Japan offers.

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.

Hello there! I came to Japan several years ago and fell in love with the country and its culture. I've always been passionate about languages and teaching, and Japan has given me the perfect opportunity to combine those interests. I love helping my students improve their English skills and achieve their goals, whether it's to study abroad, get a job, or simply communicate more effectively with others. Teaching in Japan has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I feel grateful to be able to do what I love every day.

Interested in living abroad and to experience another culture. I think I’m a good communicator and have patience to teach people and make them laugh. This helps to make an enjoyable learning atmosphere.

New child on the way and to supplement household income

At first it was a tour until I got an offer of a teaching job from BERLITZ Japan International followed by the teaching opportunity at Tokyo Gakugei University.
