Teacher Profile
I lived in Japan for the past 12 years and only just moved back to Australia to be with family. I taught at Elementary School, Junior High School and High School, as well as at Eikawas while I lived in Japan. I now live in Perth, Western Australia with my wife and son. It's very different here from Japan. I'm afraid I've become to accustomed to Japanese life. I speak English and conversational Japanese. When I have a chance, I enjoy watching movies, chatting with friends, drawing and working out at the gym.

I try to help my students feels as relaxed and comfortable as possible. I have over a decade of experience teaching one-on-one. I can teach all levels, but I specialize in beginner or intermediate. Much of my focus while teaching business was to get the grammar basics down and then introduce alternative, more polite ways of speaking. My aim is to help students incorporate grammar points and target language into realistic, everyday situations so that my students perform highly in speaking tests, meetings, training and real life.
