About Me

I am from Cape Town South Africa and I have been teaching English in Japan for the last 8 years at every level. I've lived in Nagano for 6 years and Tokyo for 2 years. I did work as an ALT at a private High school in the area as well as kids schools in Tokyo. I have a love for teaching English in a fun way and encouraging students to achieve the goals that they think impossible since they cant speak English. My class moto is "If you can say hello, you're already half way there!".

For adults, I use a variety of helpful tools and resources to make lessons both engaging and practical. Whether you're focused on conversation, grammar, or vocabulary, lessons are always tailored to fit your needs—and we can even use your own materials if you’d like. I’ve had the pleasure of teaching students from China, Korea, Spain, France, Turkey, Croatia, Saudi Arabia, and many other countries.
