Nice to meet you everybody!
I have over 12 years experience teaching English, 2 in the UK and 10 in Japan. I have taught all ages from 0 to 90 and very versatile.
As a person I feel I am kind, fun and love talking to new people. I am currently the Principal of an International School just outside of Tokyo. I manage 25 people from all over the world and deal with close to 100 children and their parents. I am a childcare specialist and can also advice about upbringing children from 0 to 6 years old
I am a family man with a beautiful two year old girl. My hobbies include weight lifting at the gym and studying Japanese (I have JLPT1)Me as a Teacher
I have taught all ages, from 0 years old, to 90 years old and taught every kind of level possible. Ranging from baby classes with mums and dads, to teaching business men about how to speak in meetings, I have covered a wide range of topics in my 8 years experience. I have also helped students prepare for University in other countries and helped them get ready for the English exams them need to take. I have also taken 200 hours worth of TESOL/TEFL classes to help me understand teaching better.My lessons & teaching style
I have taught many many types of students with many different personalities with English of different levels. All students are different and I understand that, so I will help you and teach you, the way you want to be taught. There are no mistakes when it comes to learning, because it’s all learning so rest assured that you will be in a good learning environment with me.My teaching material

It was a lesson for my son. He was nervous about his first English lesson with a native speaker. Teacher Jake created an atmosphere which he felt comfortable, and my son's nervousness immediately eased. He kindly and friendly lead the conversation at my son's pace. He spoke in clearly pronounced easy-to-understand English so that my son could catch what the teacher was saying and understand. I highly recommend Jake.

This guy is the best english teacher I've ever had, by far. His unique blend of humor and teaching skills make the entire learning experience enjoyable and effective. Through our conversation classes he has transformed the way I engage with the English language. He creates a comfortable atmosphere where learning feels like a joyous activity rather than a chore.
Overall, his dedication combined with his humor and patience make him an outstanding educator.

Jake is very professional and patient, because I booked this class for my nephew,and he just starts learning English and only can speak a little of bit, and the design of the class is good for him. After class, my nephew said he likes Jake very much, and I will always book Jake’s class for him .
