About Me
italki teacher since Apr 19, 2019InterestsScienceBusiness & FinanceMarketingMedical & HealthcareTech
I help international professionals communicate with confidence and clarity in English – especially when they need to present, lead meetings or represent their company.
I’ve worked in business and know what it’s like to lead meetings and presentations in a second language – I used to do it in Japanese. Later in my career I worked as a professional Japanese-speaking tour guide. I gained strong public speaking skills and learned how to present to diverse audiences. I hold a Master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and am passionate about finding the best way to help each individual student.Me as a Teacher
My students describe me as calm, focused and encouraging. I specialise in Business English for presentations and meetings, helping professionals sound confident, natural and persuasive so that they can impress their colleagues and advance their careers. I combine language training with communication coaching, so lessons focus not only on what you say but how you say it. You’ll get practical feedback, clear goals and space to experiment with your voice and message until you sound like the leader you want to be. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are 100% tailored to you and your professional goals. I’ll help you speak English that fits the situation – clear, natural and appropriate for an international business environment.
A typical lesson might include:
- Analysing a short video or text
- Working on pronunciation, pacing and tone
- Learning useful phrases for meetings and presentations
- Getting feedback on a recording of a presentation you did for homework
- Refining your slides for clarity and impact
I will also give you some help and advice about how best to use your time between lessons to ensure your progress is as rapid as possible.My teaching material

Me encanta como da Jill las clases. Se centra en la presentación que tienes que realizar en el trabajo, te da muchas ideas y soluciones. Te transmite confianza con lo que estás contando y te ayuda a preparar respuestas a las posibles preguntas del cliente. Ya había dado clase con ella hace algún tiempo y siempre que lo necesito vuelvo a ella.
Gracias
I love Jill’s teaching style. She focuses on the presentations you need to deliver at work and always offers great ideas and practical solutions. She helps you feel confident about your message and prepares you to handle potential client questions with ease. I took classes with her some time ago, and whenever I need help, I always go back to her.
Thank you, Jill!

Jill is a real professional English teacher. Her classes are always well-designed, enjoyable, useful. We always work with fresh actual materials. Jill is very attentive to my requests and needs. It's too impressive that after 5 lessons you notice that your English level increases and you feel more comfortable in English-speaking area. I'm grateful to you!
