About Me

Hello! I’m a native Indonesian speaker with native-level fluency in English, thanks to my extensive international experience. I’ve lived and studied in Australia and the US, and have been residing in Tokyo, Japan for more than eight years.

I started my journey abroad at a young age, completing my high school in Australia. I then pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Australian National University, followed by further studies at Colorado State University. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I completed a Master of Biotechnology at the University of New South Wales.

My professional experience is as diverse as my academic background. In Indonesia, I worked for a Singaporean cord blood bank and a private laboratory clinic. In Japan, I spent three years teaching English at Berlitz Japan language school, focusing on business English and also teaching high school and university students. Currently, I work for a Clinical Research Organization (CRO) company, where I am in charge of providing the in-house English language training courses. Additionally, I participate in meetings with foreign companies to bridge communication with our CRO.

In addition to English and Indonesian, I have also learned Mandarin and Japanese. But language isn’t my only passion! Outside of work, I’m an avid magician who has performed shows in several countries including Australia, the USA, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and the Philippines. In Japan, I even learned and performed the traditional Japanese magic, Watsuma. In my free time, I enjoy doing weight training and making YouTube videos for my channel. Also, I have been a member of the Minato City Internationalization Promotion Advisor Committee for about three years and am now serving my second term.

With my rich linguistic background and diverse interests, I’m confident that our lessons will be engaging and effective. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to improve your language skills for business purposes, I look forward to helping you on your language learning journey.

こんにちは!私はインドネシア出身で、幅広い国際経験のおかげで英語もネイティブレベルに堪能です。オーストラリアとアメリカで生活し、学んだ経験があり、現在は日本に8年以上住んでいます。

若い頃から海外での生活を始め、オーストラリアで高校を卒業しました。その後、オーストラリア国立大学で生化学と分子生物学の理学士号を取得し、さらにコロラド州立大学で学びました。学士号取得後は、ニューサウスウェールズ大学でバイオテクノロジーの修士号を取得しました。

私の職歴は学歴と同様に多岐にわたります。インドネシアでは、シンガポールの臍帯血銀行と民間の臨床検査所で働いていました。日本では、3年間ベルリッツ・ジャパンの語学学校で英語を教え、ビジネス英語を中心に、高校生や大学生にも教えていました。現在は、臨床研究機関(CRO)株式会社で働いており、社内の英語研修コースを担当しています。また、CROと外国企業とのコミュニケーションを橋渡しするために、会議にも参加しています。

英語とインドネシア語に加えて、私は中国語と日本語も学びました。しかし、言語だけが私の情熱ではありません!仕事以外では、オーストラリア、アメリカ、マレーシア、タイ、日本、フィリピンなど、いくつかの国でショーを行った熱心なマジシャンです。日本では、伝統的な日本のマジック、ワツマを学び、パフォーマンスしました。余暇には、ウェイトトレーニングをしたり、YouTubeチャンネルのためのビデオを作ったりしています。また、約3年間、港区国際化推進アドバイザー委員会のメンバーを務め、現在は2期目を務めています。

豊かな言語背景と多様な興味を持つ私は、レッスンが魅力的で効果的になることを確信しています。ビジネス目的で言語スキルを向上させたい方も、初心者の方も、あなたの言語学習の旅をサポートすることを楽しみにしています。

Bishoy
Math teacher for students from 7 years old till 18 years old, or for adults whose interested in learning math
I'm an engineer, and I really enjoy teaching mathematics in an easy and simplified way, without any complexity. I have a skill for conveying information effortlessly. I understand that mathematics is a challenge for many people, but we’ll make it one of the easiest and most enjoyable subjects. Once you understand mathematics and know how to solve problems, it becomes one of the most enjoyable and rewarding subjects for you, and you won't want to study anything else. I explain and repeat once, twice, even three times until you understand well. The most important things for me are your focus and getting the homework done. We'll explain in multiple ways until the concept reaches you and you fully understand it. Of course, during the session, we’ll go through lots of examples together.
