English Lessons.
I’m passionate about helping people connect through language, culture, and shared experiences. With over 25 years of experience teaching English, I’ve worked with learners of all ages and levels in elementary and junior high schools, language schools, universities, international schools, and businesses.
Throughout my teaching career, I’ve worked as a Head English Teacher, ESL Instructor, Teacher trainer, Business English teacher, and Career advisor. I’ve taught everything from everyday conversation and communication to academic English, test preparation, writing, and workplace English.
As a Japanese language learner myself, I understand both the challenges and rewards of learning a new language. My goal is to create a warm, relaxed space where you can learn at your own pace, build confidence, and feel comfortable making mistakes along the way. Whether you’re learning for school, work, travel, or simply for yourself, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
