Hello, I'm Gez and I'm here to help you get better at English.
I live in the UK but I lived in Japan for 10 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.

A fantastic first lesson! Gez really knows how to be patient and listen to what your goals are: he’s willing to go over the basic stuff to really give you a good foundation. I especially liked the way that he gave me plenty of time to rehearse phrases until I got them correct - he doesn’t waste time on needless explanations that might get you distracted. I HIGHLY recommend Gez and am looking forward to our next lesson!

My first lesson was incredible, felt warm and inviting, I get nervous when it comes to speaking with someone about learning a language and felt like I didn't need it be!
