With over 25 years of experience in Tokyo's leading private and international schools, I specialise in helping Japanese and Chinese students develop genuine fluency, academic confidence, and critical thinking skills in English.
Whether you are preparing for overseas study, IELTS/TOEFL, or aiming to communicate with greater precision and clarity, I offer a proven, personalised approach.
お子様の英語力を本物にしませんか？私の実績あるEIKEN対策コースは、5級から1級まで全レベルに対応。一人ひとりの弱点を徹底分析し、確実な合格へと導きます。Me as a Teacher
我在东京顶尖私立及国际学校拥有超过25年的教学经验，专注于帮助日本和中国学生培养真正的英语流利度、学术自信和批判性思维能力。作为课程设计师和前部门协调员，我将IB、剑桥、AP等国际权威教学框架融入每一堂课，并根据每位学生的目标量身定制。我深刻理解亚洲学习者所面临的挑战，也知道如何帮助你克服它们。 My lessons & teaching style
我的课程结构清晰，同时灵活应变，围绕你的具体目标和学习节奏而设计。我运用苏格拉底式提问、学术辩论和真实交流任务，帮助学生超越教科书英语，实现真正的自我表达。每节课都包含针对性反馈，教学材料完全个性化定制，绝非千篇一律。无论线上还是线下，我都致力于营造专注、鼓励的学习环境，让好奇心得到尊重，让进步清晰可见。
My lessons are structured yet flexible, built around your specific goals and learning pace. I draw on Socratic questioning, academic debate, and real-world communication tasks to move beyond textbook English into genuine expression. Every session includes targeted feedback, and materials are customised — never generic. Whether online or in-person, I create a focused, encouraging environment where curiosity is welcomed and progress is measurable.My teaching material

My daughter was smiling and laughing all through the lesson, and right after she said she enjoyed it! It's been hard to motivate my daughter to learn English, but I feel Simon is a great fit!

My daughter seemed to be enjoying his trial lesson. She was smiling a lot and seemed to be happy that she could talk about her favorite topic (dinosaurs) in English.
Thank you!
