Hello from California! Thank you for looking at my profile. I'm a flexible teacher and tutor with close to 20 years experience that hopes to help students meet their English goals and needs. I have an M.A. in TESOL and I am credentialed by the State of California as Education Specialist for students with special needs. Specific topic and niche lessons are available for any level or type of student.
I taught English in the Japanense public school system to students of all ages for more than 7 years, and I have been working as a teacher in a classroom in Santa Cruz, California for the last 8 years. In addition to a strong background in teaching and tutoring all domains of English (reading, writing, speaking, and listening), I also have extensive experience tutoring other teachers, pre-school children, test preparation, academic writing, and other subjects (including math, science, and social studies).

Feedback from students

I enjoyed the lesson very much as usual. It is quite effective to have short free conversations as often as possible. -
Thank you very much for the lesson. That was a so much fun as usual. I look forward to talking with you.

That was a quite fun to take your lesson again. I'll take lessons as many as possible so as to improve my fluency in English conversation.

I took this lesson for the first time in almost two years. The lesson was great as usual. I enjoyed it very much. I would like to take this lesson continuously.

It was great to have talking with him again. Actually it just happened to be late to start today's lesson. But he and a cafetalk staff responded politely . He works for the same field with me and he teaches various words and idioms in English. And he also tells me the different systems of special needs between the US and Japan. It's very educational for me . If I can't understand them in English, he talk in Japanese until I can understand . I'd like to have his lesson again. :)
