Introduction:

American English

Hello there! I’m pleased to meet you! My name is Cole and I am a native English speaker from Michigan (U.S.A.) Until recently, I lived in Japan and taught English in junior high school there for many years. I have also lived and taught English in Thailand before that.

Having lived in Japan, I understand how difficult it is learning a new language and being afraid of making mistakes when talking to native speakers. And because I have lived in Japan, I can understand (and correct) Japanese pronunciation of English.

Please do not feel fearful or anxious about making mistakes. Making mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. Think of them as stepping stones to cross a river. Eventually, you will reach the other side!

I am an easy-going and patient teacher. Please be relaxed and comfortable. I will do my best to put you at ease and overcome your shyness to speak English. I am here to help you.

I have many interests and can talk about most topics in depth. I especially enjoy photography, fitness training and learning the guitar. I also love traveling, hiking, mountain biking and camping! And I love JAPANESE FOOD!!!

So, come on! Let’s take the first step together!

Teaching Specialty:

Everyday English › Free Conversation

Although I have free conversation listed as my specialty, I am also quite happy to help you with your goals in learning new vocabulary, pronunciation or idioms. My teaching resources are derived from many sources and I choose them to fit the individual learning needs of my students.
