Hello, I'm Gerald but my friends call me Gez and I'm here to help you get better at English.
I live in the UK but I lived in Japan for 9 years.
I am a tutor and I offer English lessons from beginner to advanced to people from anywhere.
My hobbies are traveling, hiking, gaming, reading, movies, and trying new things.
I look forward to hearing from you :)

I'm a fun, relaxed teacher so don't worry about anything 😀
I have an MA in English with TEFL, a CELTA and I also hold an N2 qualification in Japanese.
I have 10+ years' experience teaching in class and online.
I have taught grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking (including pronunciation) to students all over the world.
I want you to talk more than me, so I will always encourage you to speak as much as you can. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, the more mistakes the better.
I can also teach basic to intermediate Japanese. This can be taught either in English or in straight Japanese for a more immersive experience!My lessons & teaching style
The first time we meet, I will do a quick level check and see what your goals are so I can adapt my lessons to suit you.

I can tell my Japanese is improving with practice and Gez pushes for more complex sentences at a rate which is achievable. He also provides lots of context and alternative options, explaining grammar well.

It is really useful doing the Pair work from textbooks, Gez comes up with multiple answers, showing you how to use the language in different ways.
I can see my Japanese improving by continuing to practice and try new grammar concepts.
