Hello, my name is CJ and i’m a pretty normal guy. I consider myself laid back and relaxed. My wife and I currently live in Japan and visit my hometown once a year.
Checking world news, music, the study of the outer space and playing PlayStation are among my hobbies.
I've had many opportunities to visit several places in the world including Hong Kong, Barbados, Costa Rica and of course, Japan. Visiting different countries has made me view the world quite differently in a positive way.
Ik als leerkracht
I think of myself more as an "English coach". There is so much more involved in learning English than rules and book knowledge.
It is important to know English rules, however (everyday natural English) is often very different. A number of factors help us to sound natural. Needless to say, it depends on your goals.
In the past, I’ve had an opportunity to assist native adult speakers with their English skills. This experience has played a role in how I help students today.
I’ve been an online English teacher for nearly 5 years and have taught upwards of 5000 lessons. I have seen almost any situation a non native might be in, so can likely help you too!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lesson methodology is quite simple... I do what works for you as an individual.
Everyone is different. Methods often work differently from person to person. Spending a sufficient amount of time on any task is important to make sure its understood well.
Slow and steady wins the race. Therefore, it's my goal to provide a comfortable, modernized, relaxing environment for you to improve your English.
My sessions tend to be quite interactive with articles, video clips and other useful media. Some people prefer a more (strict) style of teacher. If that is what you like, I may not be the person you are looking for. My style is intentionally relaxed. However, please check for yourself!

I really enjoyed this first conversation with CJ.
I was looking for an interesting open-minded person to have deep and meaningful discussions with.
I think I've just found the right guy! Looking forward to meeting him again :) !
