MFA/ BA English Lit/ Writing teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience in Japan Greetings, I’m Joe Alsheimer—a passionate English teacher with over 30 years of experience. I specialize in business English, having worked with major corporations and professionals in Japan. I've also taught in the public school system in both Japan and the US and have taught students of all ages from all walks of life. If you’re seeking practical, real-world English skills and a teacher who understands both Western and Japanese cultures, I’m here to help you succeed. I also enjoy tailoring my classes to your specific needs and situation. As for outdoor activities, I like marine sports, cycling, playing frisbee and exploring new places. I dabble at playing the guitar, bass and banjo. I read everything and everything and also love movies. So if you just want to brush up on your conversation skills, I have a pretty broad base of knowledge and can talk about most topics. Look forward to working with you.

Today was only the second lesson with him, but again, his lesson exceeded all my expectations. I booked a basic conversation plan, but he offered far more value. Maybe because of his diverse experience, he seemed to know exactly which strategies suit my level, accurately assessing my needs. Besides that, what makes his classes truly special is his personality. He is not only fun, but his engaging energy makes every conversation so interesting, which motivates me to achieve the goal for language learning, that is, to understand others and be understood. Continuously learning through his structured approach, I am very confident my English will improve.

This was my first lesson with him, and I can say, without a doubt, he is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Despite my quiet, introverted nature and lack of clear goals, he was able to figure out exactly what I needed by listening carefully, asking the right questions, and recommending the practical materials for me to improve. Beyond being an exceptional professional who genuinely cares about helping me succeed, he brings so much humor and positive energy to the session that the time just flies by. I will definitely take his lesson again.

The conversation felt easy and natural. I also learned a lot of cool new things about Japan. I had no idea it could be that interesting. Joe is a great guy to talk to. I definitely recommend him
