    American English Conversation, Business English, and English Test Preparation

    Conversation: Build your English conversation skills and speak like a native American speaker! I have many exercises to build conversation. We can start with very interesting articles+vocabulary made for English students.

    Pronunciation: I have a technique to improve students' pronunciation which many students have found effective.

    Business English: I use the Market Leader series of books which have great exercises to practice conversation in actual and Zoom meetings, presentations, interviews and specific business areas such as sales, management, finance and marketing. There are practice conversations, vocabulary, grammar, great conversation subjects as well as 'role play' which is very effective if not fun!

    TOEFL and IELTS Exams: I teach all aspects of these exams including speaking, listening, reading and writing. I can give test-taking tips and we can hone your skills while doing sample exams.

    Slang, Idioms and Phrasal Verbs: Learn to speak like a native with these casual conversation skills. I have books on idioms so that we can randomly introduce common ones, and I have huge phrasal verb lists. I'm well-versed in slang being a native of the United States and I particularly know California slang because that is where I'm from.

    About Me

    Hi, I'm Greg from California, USA but I'm living in Sapporo, Japan.

    I love travel and exploring places. I am an adventure guide and my big project/business right now is a website about the best journeys in the world. I used to work for NASA missions to Mars!

    I love music, particularly underground rap and underground indie/alternative. I have studied the history of rock and I can teach you some things about it! My favorite type of movie is called psychological thriller. It includes movies like Matrix, Inception and Interstellar.

    I have traveled to 70 countries and I have lived in Japan, China, Russia, Taiwan, Germany and Thailand, so I have lots of great stories!
    Business English: I use the Market Leader series of books which have great exercises to practice conversation in actual and Zoom meetings, presentations, interviews and specific business areas such as sales, management, finance and marketing. There are practice conversations, vocabulary, grammar, great conversation subjects as well as 'role play' which is very effective if not fun!

    Public Speaking and Effective speech for Beginners
    Public speaking is a skill that allows you to navigate through many public settings such as class/work presentations, conferences, debates, sales, networking, negotiations and ceremonial speeches. It can be an essential tool to turn everyday scenarios into opportunities, whether business or personal. I would have gone from being a shy, quiet individual to a speaker on the podium; that was a transformation that took practice and personal development. Now I can speak in any public situation, as I have been on various podiums, panels at events, competitions, conferences and meetings. In this course you will: • Tackle the fears of speaking in front of an audience and acquire the confidence necessary to do so • Learn about the different types of public speakers, and the techniques heavily used by each • Go through exercises that will assist in confidence, pitch and pacing • Learn and practice techniques created, inspired and reinforced by Dale Carnegie to improve preparation and delivery • Create your own five-minute speech with assistance and guidance.

    Enjoy learning English or French with a certified teacher
    I taught French at a British school for one year. Then I used to be an English teacher for 25 years at a French school in France. I am a Frenchman, I have the CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English). I do not have any French but a nice British accent. I can help you in improving your oral skills / editing / proofreading works (English / French), translation works (English / French). I can also help you as far as TOEFL / TOEIC is concerned. I know how to deal with this exam. The aim of the lessons is to improve your pronunciation, grammar, spelling as well as getting to know the English culture. Lessons will be made via Skype or in Sapporo and payments will be made via Paypal or Bank transfer. Would you be interested in English or in French, I will reply to you as soon as possible.
