English doesn't have to be stressful! Good vibes only 😌 I've worked as a teacher at a high school tutoring company, and am presently also maintaining a freelance tutoring business for elementary school students - having helped students of all ages on their entrance exams! I am currently fortunate enough to be working in developmental psychology; devising and conducting therapy for children with mental disability. It's through these experiences, witnessing the growth of students, that I've come to realise the significance of learning through connection, and is why I've taken to italki to interact with people around the globe! I believe I truly have a great deal to learn from you all, and would love to, perhaps, teach you something in return!

I’m a creative educator with experience in English tutoring, cultural exchange, and educational workshops.

Hello! I'm David. I like training my muscles at the gym and training my mind at my desk. I grew up in Los Angeles, California, and have lived in both the mountains of Colorado and the desert of Arizona. Right now I am a PhD student at Sophia (上智) in Tokyo. My academic interests are Hokkaido, the Ainu, and the Matagi. I like visiting historic sites in Japan whenever I get the chance. I have experience tutoring new immigrants to the United States in reading and speaking English. I learned that motivated students plus a patient teacher can make language learning fun and effective. I am also an assistant teacher at Sophia. Connecting with students is an inspiring feeling! I am passionate about weight lifting. The way to get stronger at the gym is hard work and consistency. I think learning is the same. So I mix the hard work of vocabulary and pronunciation drills with the fun tasks of speaking. Learning a language is not always easy, but it can be rewarding and exciting as well. I also customize my lessons depending on student needs. I can help with academic writing and correct or critique your term papers, help interpret a difficult textbook, enjoy free conversation, or introduce grammatical fundamentals. I can also help Japanese language learners by explaining concepts in their native language if necessary.

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

His teaching approach is ideal: lessons are well organised, and he always explains things clearly with practical examples. What I appreciate most is that he corrects my mistakes immediately and explains the reason behind each correction, which has helped me improve my writing and speaking much faster. I feel comfortable and confident in his lessons, and I can really see my progress. I would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for the IELTS

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find an English teacher who also speaks Japanese?

Use the “Also speaks” filter on italki to see English teachers who speak Japanese. Read their profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check student reviews to find the right match for your learning goals.

How much do English lessons for Japanese speakers cost?

Prices depend on the teacher’s experience, qualifications, and lesson type. You can find English teachers starting from $5 to $50+ per hour, and many offer trial lessons at a discounted rate so you can try a teacher before you commit.

Do I need to know any English before booking a lesson?

No. Because your teacher also speaks Japanese, they can explain grammar and vocabulary in your own language, which makes starting from zero much easier. Complete beginners are welcome.

What are the benefits of learning English with a teacher who speaks Japanese?

A teacher who understands your native language knows the mistakes Japanese speakers typically make and can explain difficult points clearly. You learn faster, stay motivated, and can always ask questions in Japanese when you get stuck.

How do I schedule English lessons on italki?

Create a free italki account, choose a teacher you like, select a lesson, and pick a time from the teacher’s calendar. You can manage all your lessons from your dashboard.
