About Me

Interest topicWritingArtReading
As a journalist, an author, and a podcast host, I thrive using English and am passionate about sharing access to fluency due to believing English proficiency to be one of the most powerful tools to have in the modern world. In my spare time I'm always reading, writing, or working on another project to further my own relationship with this language.
Me as a Teacher
Patience and understanding are what I believe to be the keys to helping guide a student towards success. As a teacher I'm very reactive, or flexible to my student's needs. I want to know who you are, what your skills are, and what goals you'd like to achieve in your journey towards English mastery. My belief is that everyone's English is different, and so I inspire students to confidently use the language however it makes the most sense to them, and to practice making mistakes. It's always easier to learn how to ride a bike while falling off it a few times rather than never getting on it in the first place.
My lessons & teaching style
As a teacher I believe in a student driven experience, or lesson plans that are made with the student to ensure that they are learning what they want to and at the pace that they are comfortable with. Through conversation I believe most English skills can be developed and reinforced, but I'm always happy to create unique worksheets to use for further English mastery. However, as long as the student is improving their skills and learning what they want to, I'm happy.

My interest in re-reading Anna Karenina was brought out in this class. Perhaps I should try the English version this time :)

知識が豊富で優秀な人です。どんなトピックにも柔軟に対応してくれます。ただ、レッスン開始時に15分程度の遅刻が2度ほどあり、もう少し時間に厳しくなってほしいです。
He is very intelligent and flexible with any kinds of topics. The one thing I am unhappy about is he was late for class twice. I want him to be more punctual.

Feel super motivated to follow my “calling” and just keep doing the right things. Thanks for introducing Sappho and R.D.Laing. It’s always exciting to know great people and their works.

Lyle has helped me a ton with my writing skills. He has a lot of writing and storytelling experience so if you want to develop these types of skills, I'd totally recommend Lyle.
