    English Tutoring, improving your speaking and writing skills in English

    Hi, my name is Alison! I am offering English tutorial courses for school students working on English exams, and adults interested in practising English conversations.

    For students: I myself have taken many English tests, including TOEFL and IETLS (8.5/9). I am happy to help you if you are applying for Universities abroad, preparing for English tests, or college entrance exam.

    For adult learners: I obtained my CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), accredited by Cambridge English, in 2021. I can offer tailored lessons based on your needs, be it speaking, listening, or writing-focused classes.

    One special course I offer is a writing-feedback course in which we focus on improving your essay writing skills.

    I also speak Chinese, so extra point if you would like to learn some Chinese too.

    Extra information

    Please note that for the writing-feedback course, you need to send me a draft prior to each session, and we will walk through improving the draft. Extra prep time may be required for writing classes of this type.

    About Me

    It has been a long journey for me to improve my English as a second language, so yes, I can understand what you might be struggling with and what sort of assistance will come be most helpful!

    I took many English Tests and got better at them over time. If you are preparing for these, I can help.

    I love conversing with people about travel, food, pictures, museums, movies, music and whatnot.

    I do have a few degrees too, so if you are interested in research/graduate school, I think my experience may also help. Writing essays can be a challenge but practice makes perfection.

    Education

    2019, Doctor of Philosophy(PhD), The University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom.
    2014, Master degrees of Law, China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing, China.

    Experience / Qualifications

    2020-2023 Teacher at Waseda University
    2021 CELTA Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, Cambridge English.
    Since 2022 Certified Mediator, Singapore International Mediation Institute
    Join the class if you would like to have your essay/academic assignment reviewed! Provide feedback, editing and proofreading services if required. Prior to each class, please have your draft ready and sent to me one day before the class. During the class, I will explain the feedback I attached and answer any questions you have. The overall class time includes the time I spend preparing the feedback and the time we meet up online/in person. Please also note that you are the author of your work, and my role is not to write an assignment on your behalf. The best way to improve academic writing in English is definitely to keep practising and revising. It is a really arduous procedure but trust me, it will be worth your time in the end!
    In this class, I will provide a tutorial session to help you prepare for your exams, case studies, group project, and essay in law school. I specialise in most private law modules/courses, including contract, tort, company, trust and equity, and international law. Please contact me first to arrange a lesson on the subject and send me the specific materials/problem questions before coming to the class, at least one day before. In the class, we will work on the questions or the drafts you have.
    I offer proofreading services to both professionals and students. I am a certified linguist with CIOL (Chartered Institute of Linguists) of UK. I can proofread text written in business, academic and general context. Please feel free to get in touch!

    Emiko
    Private Japanese Lesson ― Conversation, Grammor, Reading comprehension, Writing, Academic Japanese
    Hello. My name is Emi. I am from Fukuoka, south of Japan, and currently live in Tokyo, and work at the office. I have a university degree in economics and have worked for over 20 years in several companies, building good relationships with colleagues and clients. In my mid-30s, I joined an art college and completed a master's degree in Art Studies. I am currently enrolled in a graduate program, writing my doctoral thesis on Spanish paintings. I also work as a university tutor helping students with their studies. Based on my experience, I can offer lessons for everyday life, business or office, academic contexts like university classes, and so on. The basic style of my lessons is mainly conversational, sharing and discussing experiences and knowledge on a variety of topics such as everyday events, work and study, cultural and scientific events, news articles, etc. The major goal is for you to master and be able to use expressions appropriate to the context and to be able to understand correctly what others say (what is written), and to convey your ideas and thoughts more effectively. To achieve this, I also focus on grammatical structures and patterns, if necessary. Learning about sentence structure will also help you to understand what the other person says (or writes) correctly. And I can also support those who want to enjoy essays or novels written in Japanese. Reading texts written by Japanese also gives you an insight into our culture and way of thinking and allows you to learn more vocabulary and expressions and how to use them effectively. If there’s a specific text you’d like to read, let me know. Lastly, lessons are conducted in Japanese, but I can also understand English, although not fluently, so you can use English if you have difficulty expressing yourself in Japanese. (I am also learning Spanish and can understand simple sentences). So, I hope you can relax and enjoy the lessons. Thank you for reading to the end. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help you improve your Japanese language skills and enjoy Japan and its unique culture!
