Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

I moved to Japan in 2019 from the UK and now live in the countryside near Takasaki in Gunma, with my wife and two dogs. I work full time as an English language teacher and in my spare time, I am refurbishing the house we have bought.

I am originally from England and speak British English and I have also lived in Japan, Italy and Germany.

I am an experienced, qualified teacher and taught in junior/high schools, in the UK, for 10 years.

I have also taught English for 7 years as a private tutor; as an EFL teacher in England.

When teaching English, I like to encourage my students to speak as much English as they can, to encourage them to start to think in English. I will expect you to work hard in lessons but I will also be very patient with you.

I want to build your confidence and ability in English so that you can achieve your ambitions.

Before I became a teacher, I worked as an accountant and financial consultant and have worked in many countries as part of my job. This included Japan, where I worked at BMW Japan for a year. I have a lot of background knowledge of both the automotive and education sectors.
