Improve communication skills in business, research, and social interactions
Hello and welcome! I am a US-based corporate English coach experienced in helping students move beyond "textbook English" to confident, natural fluency. Whether you are a professional in Asia or an expat living in the US, I tailor my lessons to help you express complex ideas clearly.
I also run the YouTube channel In Love with English, helping students master listening fluency: https://www.youtube.com/@inlovewithEnglish
My Background
My professional background includes serving as a Fellow in Vietnam with the U.S. State Department and teaching with the University of Hawai'i. I also bring real-world experience from the real estate and non-profit sectors. I specialize in business English and cross-cultural communication, helping you understand not just what to say, but how to say it effectively in Western business and social contexts.
Who I Can Help
🇯🇵 🇰🇷 For Students in Japan & Korea: I offer flexible scheduling to match your busy lifestyle, whether you are an Early Bird or a Night Owl:
🌙 Evenings (8:00 PM – 10:00 PM JST): Perfect for relaxing and practicing English after your workday.
☀️ Mornings (7:00 AM – 10:00 AM JST): Start your day with English before work or school.
🍱 Lunch Breaks (12:00 PM – 2:00 PM JST): Fit a lesson into your midday break to stay productive.
🇺🇸 For Japanese Expats Living in the US: I offer morning availability (MST) that aligns perfectly with East Coast and Central time zones. This is ideal for expats, spouses, or students who want to practice English in the mid-morning (10:00 AM – 1:00 PM EST) while children are at school.
My Teaching Style
My goal is communication, not just grammar drills. We will focus on flow, vocabulary, and nuance so you can handle complex discussions in business, social, or travel settings.
Choose Your Focus:
✈️ Travel & Tourism: Love to explore? We can practice English for your next trip, from airport check-ins and ordering food to making friends abroad. As a passionate traveler myself, I can help you prepare for your trips or practice describing your own adventures.
🏢 Business English: Negotiations, conflict management, drafting reports/emails, interview preparation, and navigating Western business culture (including the difficult art of "small talk").
🎓 Academic English: Discussing research, preparing presentations, summarizing articles, and university-level writing.
🗣️ Daily Life & Culture: For those living in or planning to move to the US, we can discuss American culture, daily interactions, and hobbies to build your confidence in social situations.
Your First Lesson
To ensure you get the most out of our time, our first lesson will be a consultation to assess your level and discuss your specific goals. I create plans using resources relevant to your life (e.g., your work emails, research papers, or travel plans) so you see immediate improvement.
Let’s Get Started
Please check my schedule for a time that suits you. I look forward to meeting you!
