Build Real-World English Skills with a literary touch, expert grammar guidance, and a Passionate, Patient, TEFL-Certified Teacher

Hello! My name is Leo, and I’m a certified English teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a TEFL/TESOL certification. I’ve taught students from ages 5 to 18 as both a Substitute Teacher and Teaching Assistant, and I love creating engaging, supportive learning environments where students feel confident using English. Teaching is more than a job for me—it’s a way to connect with people and help them grow. I’m especially passionate about language learning and cultural exchange, and I’m excited to support students on their English journey. Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring new cultures, trying local foods, learning about Japanese traditions, and spending time reading or playing tabletop RPG games like D&D. I’m looking forward to learning together! Together, we’ll focus on speaking naturally, improving your grammar, and building the confidence to use English in real-life situations. I create a friendly, encouraging environment where you can feel comfortable making mistakes and growing from them. Let’s make learning English exciting and effective—book your first lesson today, and let’s get started!

I offer classes in English Writing, Grammar & Vocabulary, ESL, English Culture, and Reading. My teaching methodology is literature-based, using stories and texts as a foundation for building language skills. I focus on grammar and vocabulary in context, helping students understand how language works within meaningful readings. By exploring literature, students improve reading comprehension while gaining insight into culture, themes, and expression. I encourage discussion and creative responses to texts to build confidence and critical thinking. Vocabulary is introduced naturally through reading, reinforced with interactive activities, and connected to real-life usage. My approach combines structure with cultural exploration to make English both practical and enriching. I leverage tech tools like interactive platforms, e-books, and online resources to create engaging and interactive lessons. I follow a curriculum tailored to each student's needs, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.
