Hi, I’m Mark, a UK native English teacher and university lecturer based in Japan.
I currently teach English for Academic Purposes at Akita International University, where I help undergraduate students develop the reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills required for university-level study. I have over 10 years of teaching experience in Japan, working with learners from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds.
I work best with students who want to use English more accurately, clearly, and confidently, whether for:
university study
professional or workplace communication
structured, goal-oriented conversation practiceÖğretmen Olarak Ben
I have been teaching English in Japan for over 10 years, including:
university-level academic English
business and professional English
English for healthcare professionals
At university, I teach speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with a strong focus on:
clarity of expression
logical structure
academic and professional tone
developing confidence when explaining ideas
Because I also speak Japanese I understand the challenges faced by language learners and can explain difficult points clearly when needed.
My goal is not just conversation, but to help your progress in communicating more effectively and independently over time. Derslerim ve öğretme tarzım
My teaching style is student-centered, structured, and supportive.
In our first lesson, we focus on:
getting to know each other
understanding your background and goals
identifying the context in which you use English (study, work, daily life, or discussion)
From there, I tailor lessons to your needs. Depending on your goals, lessons may include:
guided discussion with feedback and correction
improving fluency and accuracy
developing academic or professional vocabulary
organizing ideas more clearly when speaking or writing
I provide clear feedback, targeted corrections, and practical guidance, while encouraging you to think independently and express yourself with confidence.Öğretim materyallerim

Just realized that I've already had 23 lessons with Mark! Mark is a great teacher. He is knowledgeable and nice. I always enjoy discussing some questions about English reading and writing with him. I think my English has significantly improved recently with his help. Thank you!
