Jack in Japan Tutor Profile

I am an Englishman from Newcastle - north of England.
I have lived and travelled in several countries - including Germany - with the Royal Air Force.
I spent several years in Tokyo - Fujisawa where I taught English at companies such as Toshiba and also at language schools. Also my group meetings with mostly cultured Japanese women were so enjoyable.
I live now in Katsuura - a lovely small town in southern Japan. I take great joy in meeting and chatting with my neighbours here - who all graciously welcome me.
I have the M.Ed.in Education and also the Cambridge CELTA.. Many years teaching English.
I keep myself in good condition with yoga, meditation etc. etc. and love music and ballroom dancing. I have children and grandchildren in Australia.
Most important of all I have my lovely Japanese wife with whom I have been married for 25 years.
Would love to meet you.

Jack started by showing a paragraph in the chat box. We practiced reading it aloud, then after Jack asked some questions about the story, I had to ask some questions too. Making interrogative sentences right away was surprisingly difficult. I've always struggled with interrogative sentences, but I finally found a way to practice them in this lesson.

We used a story to discuss during the lesson. Jack guided me in predicting its genre and gave me a lot of chances to read and ask questions about the story. It’s helpful for students to learn how to ask questions as we are used to answering questions from a teacher. So, I find it beneficial for me to learn and practice my speaking in the lesson. Plus, Jack is really friendly and a guidable teacher. Thank you very much.

The tutor is very nice and polite. I really appreciated that the tutor accepted my lesson request very quickly and sent me the friend request of Skype initiatively. After having a warm greeting and self introduction, we studied the American poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost. In this lesson, we focused on reading first two paragraphs of this poem. I tried to shadow what the tutor’s British pronunciation and tone. It was new to me! In my opinion, he was very kind and professional that she had well preparation about the teaching material. I enjoyed the lesson very much.

For intermediates Professional Fun

Jack先生は私の話をよく聞いてくれて　こちらへの質問の時は話すスピードを遅くしてくれて気を遣ってくれたり難しい単語はたまに日本語で教えてくれたりします。最後に短い短文を読んで発音の練習、物語を推測して展開を予想したり、内容について英語で質問したりする練習を行ったのですがこれが私にとってとても勉強になりました。今後も先生のレッスンを受けていきたいと思います。
