I am an American English teacher living and working in Japan. I have taught ESL (English as a Second Language) at companies, public schools, and universities in the Tokyo area for more than 30 years. I have held the job titles of Foreign Language Instructor, Head Teacher, Assistant Dean, Reading Researcher, Registrar, Writer, Editor, Materials Developer, College Instructor, and Seminar Presenter in English. I have written and published English materials in corporations and online.

Minha atuação como professor

I have taught English on italki for 5 years. This is a great platform on which to study. I have taught thousands of people from many countries over my teaching career. I have a teaching certificate from the State of Missouri, having graduated from one of the best teaching colleges in the Midwest.

Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino

I am usually informal, relaxed, and cheerful. I help people prepare for many things in an English language environment. In addition, I have quite a variety of guides that we can use in our class: English dialogs, discussion topics, questions and answers, role plays, test preparation, job interview questions, conversation suggestion sheets, idiom studies, phrasal verb lists, colloquial expressions, homework assignments, videos, reference and activity web sites, classroom materials, short stories, ESL readings, etc. These I offer you free! I also like the simplicity of doing traditional conversation and chatting about subjects like life, hobbies, and travel!
