Well, I guess the best way to know me is to check out my youtube channel

And.....I lived in Japan for eight years and I can speak the language fairly well. I have also traveled to Australia, Hong Kong and Korea. Traveling is something I like to talk about, but really I like to talk about anything, from politics to cooking or anything in between. I like to let my students come up with the topics they want to talk about.
My hobbies are Japanese Language, internal martial arts, film production (writing acting, editing and directing) stage combat and basic stunt work, basketball and gymnastics.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a third generation teacher from the state of Texas. That is to say my grandfather was a teacher; my father is a teacher and I am a teacher. And we were all licensed in the state of Texas.
My degree is in Theater and licenses are in Theater and History. However, because my family owns and operates its own school I have had the opportunity to teach various subjects. Among them were Drafting and Computer Aided Drafting, Reading, Writing, History (World and U.S.), Geography, Theater and Basic Japanese.
I have also taught English as a Second Language (ESL) in my family school and also in various schools in Tokyo.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
For now (not forever) my lesson is a straight forward process. The student and I will have a conversation and I will take notes of the student’s weak points in grammar, pronunciation, listening skills and vocabulary. At the end of the lesson I will teach the student where they can improve in these areas.
I encourage the student to come ready with topics to discuss.

Every session feels like a fun and productive conversation rather than a traditional lesson. With Jay’s guidance, I've not just learning English, but I've started to think and feel in it.

Jay is an excellent teacher and his pronunciation is very clear. I also like that at the end of the lesson I get additional feedback on my mistakes during the lesson, including grammar.
