Introduction:
Teaching English from beginner to IELTS, as well as Business and Technical English.
Hi, my name’s Simon and I’m from the UK. I’ve been teaching English, online to Japanese students for over 5 years and before that I worked in Saudi Arabia for 7 years teaching English in a technical college in Riyadh.
Over the 5 years I’ve been working for Skimatalk, I have spoken to a wide variety of Japanese students, from beginners to advanced; students preparing for IELTS/TOEFL; interviews for graduate schools; or just conversation practice to improve or maintain their current level.
I’m also familiar with the Versant English speaking test and EIKEN and can help you improve your score or help you prepare for taking the EIKEN exam up to level 1.
I’m very interested in Japan, both the people and its culture and I keep up to date with current news, and I’m always interested in talking about anything relating to the country, culture, or current affairs.
I understand the problems Japanese speakers have with English and I can help with pronunciation, fluency, grammar and vocabulary where necessary.
Learning or improving your English should be enjoyable, and so I try to encourage a relaxed learning style to help you improve your confidence in speaking English whether you are just setting out or already at a high level which you want to maintain or improve.
Teaching Specialty:
Most of my lessons are free conversation, where I can conduct a question-and-answer session for you to practice your English, or we can speak about a prearranged topic.
I have resources to assist you to prepare for the TOEFL speaking exam, specifically tasks 2, 3, 4, and 6 with practice lectures, conversations, and readings.
I am familiar with the Versant speaking test and EIKEN
I have had training in interview techniques, and I have taught English for interviews both online, and in a classroom environment.
I have taught a lot of Japanese students in this area, where lessons focus on pronunciation, and more natural speaking.
