About Me

I have been teaching English and Japanese in real life and on the net for over 18 years.My focus is on REAL spoken language — like that used in movie and TV scripts.
When it comes to English, I have taught, TOEFL, TOEIC, business English, beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. I’ve taught classes on American Literature, cinema, and Star Wars. I’ve given lectures on movies, Peru, and the comic book hero. My specialty is phrases that appear in movies but are not taught in regular text books.
As a Japanese teacher I focus on helping starters get over humps and learn real Japanese expressions that are not taught in text books.
