<Self-introduction>
I am Hideyuki Toda, from Japan!
I have experiences living in different countries such as United States and the U.K. when I was a student.
As a professional, I've lived and worked for Goldman Sachs, an distinguished U.S. bank in Singapore over 2 years.
<Hobbies>
1. Love traveling so I've been to over 12 different countries! It is just such a pleasure to learn different culture and lifestyle as well as languages and food.
2. Skateboarding and Surfing are another my passion. I live near by the coast so it is just as essential as breathing !lol
3. Music is another part of my favorite thing. Expressing myself trough singing and playing the piano and guitar is just satisfying!

Me as a Teacher
<English>***日本語下にあります
I have struggled enough before being able to communicate fluently with English speakers! So I understand how you can learn and practice different languages while you are enjoying the process of learning. Besides being able to speak English, understanding and embodying different cultures are a whole another level. However, I have been exposed to people with different cultures and taken leadership in a global environment as a professional. I am very confident of teaching Japanese in English and vise versa.
<日本語>
英語で流暢に意思疎通ができるまで本当に苦労しました。なので異なる言語をどのように勉強し練習しつつ、学ぶ過程の楽しさも身をもって感じています。英語で話せること以上に、違う文化を理解し体現することはとても難しいですが、グローバルな環境に触れ、リーダーシップの経験を活かし自信をもって英語と日本語の授業をお教えいたします。
My lessons & teaching style
<Purpose>
The purposes in my classes are having FUN and being PRACTICAL.
<Goal>
So as to fulfill them, class will be individualized for each student based on their needs and desires. Additionally, deep understanding of different culture is another emphasis in my class because simply knowing a language does not mean you can communicate well with natives. You need to understand culture!
<Lesson>
I know some of you feel bored learning by only textbook.
If you are anime lover, we can watch actual videos or use manga!
If you are into music, we can used the lyrics of the Japanese song.
If you are finding your job, I can set up business interviews.
Your class will be adjusted just the way you want!

Hide-san continues to be a huge help for me to get more skilled at complex conversation. In the beginning, i felt very rudimentary in my word choices, and already am trying out using more turns of phrases on top of learning matching phrases for common english concepts like "hole in the wall" is "隠(かく)れ家(が)+レストラン"

I can really see the improvement in my ability to formulate sentences after each lesson. The information Hide provides is great for application outside of the lessons, which allows me to practice naturally without feeling like I'm studying or doing homework.

Hide-sensei is incredibly dedicated, responsive, and patient. He excels at breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable terms, ensuring that you get the most out of your learning experience.
I strongly recommend taking Japanese classes with him.
You will enjoy the journey and also make significant progress with every lesson.

Hide is a very professional teacher and he is very good at encouraging! The process of learning with him is very efficient and fun. And we did a lot of speaking practices on the class, they are very practical and useful. I love Hide’s lessons!
