【英会話エスワンS1】マンツーマンレッスン

I start with the student’s own learning materials if at all possible, so that they’ll get their money’s worth out of whatever textbooks etc., they have already purchased, then when I get to know what specific situations they need English for, I add or adapt English phrases/sentences for those specific situations, and depending on the student’s English level and needs, I may recommend additional learning materials. I greatly encourage students to write down phrases/sentences (in Japanese, if they don’t have time to write them in English) that they know they will be most likely to need to know how to say, and bring their notes to the lesson, so I can teach them English they will very likely use. Students taking notes during lessons is very important, so they can review what they learned whenever they have a spare moment for the rest of the week.

Over 20 years of experience teaching Conversational English, Business English and Travel English to students of all English levels, both one-on-one and in groups of up to 8 students at a time. I have taught both in person and online. In private/semi-private English lessons, I’m regularly in consultation with each client to combine textbook learning, conversation, pronunciation training and grammar for their respective English levels.

Over 10 years of experience as an American-English pronunciation coach. Also over 10 years of experience as an English proofreader and editing consultant for business and medical professionals, providing editing consultation for English in public announcement scripts, company product/service names and on company product labels.

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.

6 months voluntary work as a Teacher's Assistant in the UK.

2 years private ESL tuition in the UK.

7 years teaching at various eikaiwa and English schools in Japan - group, kids, man-to-man style.

I have experience in TOFEL exams, and I pay serious attention to a well-balanced English ability with satisfactory levels in all of the speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I am especially familiar with business related academical English conversations and presentations. I can provide insightful experience and advices to those who are considering to study or work in English-speaking countries.

I have four years of internship and part-time job experiences in Australia, involving positions in both marketing research and hospitality industries. I have experience in teaching middle and high school students in China including lessons on TOFEL speaking and listening exams.

I am currently in Japanese language school looking forward to complete my master degree in Japan. Japanese culture and life-style are extremely attractive to me and making me want to explore and experience this land deeper. I am passionate in sharing my skills and experience to assist more people, especially to those who are also interested and passionate about the out-side world.

Free conversation is possible, but also text books, grammar work sheets or newspaper articles about recent news.

今まで20年以上英語とドイツ語を教えてます。ドイツ語は広島文教女子大学で、英語とドイツ語は色んな語学学校でパート･タイム教師で働いています。専門がモダーン・アートなので、いろいろな多方面に興味があります。それから授業の中で自分の経験を伝えて、生徒たちはいつも面白くて楽しい期間があります。会話で文法と言葉も教えたら、政党たちは自分の語学力を早くレベル・アップになる可能性があります。オンラインレッスンも可能性があります。

2001年に広島市立大学で交換留学生でした。日本人の彼女のおかげで２００６年日本に引っ越ししました。初めてアーチストの友達が留学したいので翻訳して、言葉を教えてました。教えるのが大好きとなかなか英語とドイツ語を勉強したいの方々が増えたらフリーランス教師になりました。

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.

Japan unexpectedly captured my heart, leading me to trade a routine life for one filled with the dynamic energy of teaching English. The transition felt natural, fueled by the contagious excitement of friends already creating magic in their classrooms. Years later, I've become known as the teacher who transformed English class into a world of adventure. Inspired by those who paved the way before me, I jumped into this journey with a pocket full of stories and a mission to make learning an unforgettable experience. Today, my classes are where fun and education intertwine, crafting lasting memories. What began as a chance encounter has grown into a chosen path—one filled with laughter, discovery, and endless opportunities to explore the joys of teaching English. 日本は予想外に私の心を捉え、日常的な生活を英語を教えるという活気に満ちた生活に変えることになりました。この変化は自然に感じられ、すでに教室で魔法を生み出していた友人たちの伝染するような興奮に支えられていました。 何年も経った今、私は英語のクラスを冒険の世界に変えた教師として知られるようになりました。私の前を歩んできた人々に触発され、たくさんの物語を胸に抱え、学びを忘れられない体験にするという使命感を持って、この旅に飛び込みました。 今日、私のクラスでは、楽しさと教育が交わり、記憶に残る体験が作られています。偶然の出会いから始まったこの旅は、今では笑いと発見に満ち、英語を教える喜びを探求する無限の機会が詰まった選ばれた道へと成長しました。
