Hello, I'm Mick, a native Japanese instructor originally from Osaka.
As a CELTA-certified educator with experience teaching both Japanese and English, I specialize in creating engaging lessons tailored to beginners and intermediate learners. My teaching approach emphasizes building conversational confidence in a relaxed environment while incorporating cultural elements like Osaka dialect and J-POP for an immersive experience.
Outside the classroom, my interests include music performance (guitar, drums, vocals), international travel, and anime/game culture - all of which I enjoy integrating into personalized lesson plans when appropriate.

Miku is great, fully enjoyed his trial lesson. He took my goals and preferences into account, but I also felt like he would challenge my skills - which is exactly what I'm looking for.

I enjoyed learning from Mick, I liked how he took note of the mistakes I made and helped with the difficulties I had. Thank you for the lesson.
