Skype video lessons are safe, convenient and secure for you since you can choose the time and place that suits you best. Also, I can record my voice in English of words, sentences, conversations, or even articles you may write. Our lessons may include role play of scripts in English that basically discusses your daily interests in life such as typical conversations you may have at work, at school, at a restaurant, at the airport or between friends. And there are other methods I may use to help you in learning English. While I do not speak Japanese or Korean, this would not be a problem for students I would teach since success in learning English depends on immersing the student in speaking English all the time even when it is challenging. I grew up in the Caribbean Island of Jamaica, the land of the famous Reggae singer Bob Marley. As a Jamaican citizen my native language is English based on the British English language. I am also an American resident so I am used to the American English language. Therefore, I am in a unique position of teaching and guiding you to recognize the similarities of and the differences between the British English Language and the American English Language. This will be especially helpful to you when you travel to North America such as Canada and the United States Of America or places like Britain or other English speaking European countries. Currently, I teach Japanese natives online. The age of these Japanese students are wide ranging, from teens to the elderly. Each have their own interests and reasons for learning English. So I am used to teaching people of different backgrounds. Your interest and reason for learning English is what gives my teaching English flavor that we can certainly enjoy together in our lessons. Program Description As a Tutor, teaching English is serious business but I will make sure that for the student learning English will be fun. Our first lesson together is a trial lesson. Trial Lessons are free, no charge to you. One lesson is one hour. At the end of the trial Lesson we can negotiate a price for future lessons and agree on a schedule. I look forward to your response so that we can start our lessons soon. Teaching Experience As a native speaker of the English Language I have tutored students from all ages and all levels of schooling for over 10 years. For example, I have taught English to students from the Kindergarten (幼稚園) level, Elementary school (小学校 ) Level, Junior high school or Lower secondary school (中学校 ) level as well as students at the High school school or Upper secondary school (高等学校) level. I have also tutored adults even those of the elderly ones over 70 years of age. My students are often from Tokyo and Hokkaido. Currently, I am an English Tutor teaching Japanese students on an online Japanese website. Frequently Asked Questions My teaching schedule is flexible.
