(ENG) Hi my name is Ben. I'm from Cornwall in the United Kingdom. I studied sports coaching at university but later went on to learn Japanese by myself. In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, watching movies and TV in other languages and playing video games. I also read manga in Japanese.
(JPN) こんにちは、べんです！イギリスのコーンウォールに住んでいます。大学でスポーツコーチングを勉強して卒業しました。4年前一人で日本語を勉強すると決めて挑戦しました。暇時間があれば、ウエートトレーニングをするし、映画を観るし、テレビゲームも楽しんでいます。そして、漫画も好きです。Me as a Teacher
(ENG) I want to help as many students as possible achieve their language goals in English. I believe that no matter your age or ability you can reach a high level in English or any other language. I have previously done a TEFL(Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate for classroom based work. In addition I have informally tutored Japanese people while I have been travelling in Japan and online.
(JPN) あらゆる生徒が支えたいんです。年齢とか能力などお上手な言語能力と関係がないと思います。自信があるし、情熱も強いなら、絶対に上級なレベルに上げます。オンラインと日本の旅行途中で色んな英語を教える経験があるから、日本人なら、助ってあげると思います。 My lessons & teaching style
(ENG) Lessons will be based on your own learning requirements and what you enjoy. If you like, we can study by reading newspaper articles, journals, books, TV etc. I will create a personal lesson structure for you when you message me/ book a trial lesson this will make each lesson feel more unique for you.
(JPN) 言語能力や好みによって授業の内容が違います。いつもあなたの頼みを考えて、特別な授業を作っております。とにかく、色んな材料を使います。例えば、記事、ビデオ、テレビ番組、教科書も使えます。
* (ENG) Please note: I have changed my pricing plan. Please choose the correct class type when booking the lesson.

He's a great and friendly person. he taught clearly to me. also, he cheered me up even though I wrote bizarre sentences to describe my favorite anime's scenes. and, he showed me that colloquial and literary usages in some same sentences. It was really useful for understanding the differences. I'm looking forward to learning English with him next time too :)
英文法を教えて頂きました。日本語を勉強していらっしゃる先生なので、なぜ私にとって英文法の理解が難しいのかを汲み取って下さり、シンプルかつ分かりやすく教えて下さいました。また、一つの文章で口語と文語の二つの例を見せて下さり、とても勉強になりました。

Today was my first lesson and I really enjoyed it. Ben is the type of person that you can talk easily in a relax way. Definitely recommend him if you want to improve your English.
