English
My Experience:

I've taught English for 12+ consecutive years in countries including Japan, Mexico, and Brazil. I have a B.A. in Anthropology and a 120-Hour TEFL English Certificate. I began with primary/secondary school in Japan, and then graduated to Business English with adults where I worked alternating for three different schools. I began a successful new English program at a Japanese tutoring service company where I taught customized lessons to new students. I then taught industry professionals Business English in Mexico at the largest school in the region. I have taught in person, in public schools, on-site at companies, online, and in every other format you can imagine.

My Approach:

I create customized lessons for your specific needs based on an evaluation of your current strengths/weaknesses. I focus on communicative/situation-based learning, using scenarios to help structure the language. I also use high-quality materials and textbooks as aids.
Additionally, I've learned that memorizing a new language can be achieved better via an associated emotional response, so I like to use a lot of media (comedy/drama TV series clips, movies, etc.) in my lessons to improve language acquisition.

Japanese
Konnichiwa! Neisan to moshimasu. Yoroshiku ne!
こんにちわ!ネイサンと申します。よろしくね!

I studied Japanese full-time at a Japanese Language Institute in Southern Japan where I graduated with a Language Certificate. I lived and worked in Japan for 9 years. My knowledge is extensive and based on real experience from real relationships with Japanese in Japan.

Let me share my knowledge and experience of Japan with you! I teach beginner-to-intermediate lessons using a variety of coursebooks, along with media such as videos, TV, etc. I teach Hiragana, Katakana, and also Kanji.

Let's study together! Issyou ni Nihongo wo benkyou shimasen ka? Matteimasu yo!
一緒に日本語を勉強しませんか?待っていますよ!

Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I've taught English Writing, with a focus on essays for over 12 years to students all over the world. I also specialize in IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT Writing, especially the essay sections. English writing is the great love of my life.
IELTS

IELTS

I've taught IELTS preparation for 4+ years now to international students like you. I focus heavily on live test simulations for maximum exposure and I give quick, efficient feedback across the four areas of Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. We create a priority list together based on your abilities and I then customize the lesson to your specific needs. I will help you prepare your own strategies and habits for both study and test taking. I've helped all levels across multiple band requirements. It's quickly become my favorite test to teach!
Japanese

Japanese

Konnichiwa! Neisan to moshimasu. Yoroshiku ne! こんにちわ!ネイサンと申します。よろしくね! I studied Japanese full-time at a Japanese Language Institute in Southern Japan where I graduated with a Language Certificate. I studied in a full-immersion course without any English support for 1.5 years and successfully graduated. I had a grand time! I then began working in Japan working in fully Japanese-only language environments for a total of 9 years. I continued studying and perfecting my Japanese with friends, colleagues, students, etc. I learned 'Street-Japanese', the real language as its spoken, including slang, metaphorical speech, media references, colloquial contractions, etc. My knowledge is extensive and based on real experience from real relationships with Japanese in Japan. Let me share my knowledge and experience of Japan with you! I teach beginner-to-intermediate lessons using a variety of coursebooks, along with media such as videos, TV, etc. I will customize the lesson to your specific needs/goals after I've evaluated you. We can focus on any of the four areas: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing. I teach Hiragana, Katakana, and also Kanji. I can also teach slang, and local dialects (Northern, Central, and Southern Japanese). My unique strength is that I am a Native English speaker, so I can help explain and give you detailed advice/instruction in English along with Japanese. I was a student of Japanese like yourself, so I know exactly how you feel and the challenges you face. Let's study together! Issyou ni Nihongo wo benkyou shimasen ka?

Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I've been helping students like you improve their English speaking abilities for 10+ years, across multiple countries. In Japan I prepared students for an annual, nation-wide English Speaking Competition by focusing on good pronunciation, posture, eye-contact, and proper grammar/composition. I continue to teach Speaking now, general, public, and also test-focused (IELTS & TOEFL). I can help you customize your speech to your environment, whether it be British English (UK, Australia, NZ, South Africa), or North American English (USA).
