I am a native Japanese and English speakers. I was born in Japan and raised in the United States from my childhood. I have also lived for 13 years in Poland. Right now I live in beautiful Barcelona Spain. I have a MD, and a PhD degree in Medicine if you are interested in practicing Medical English as well.
Me as a Teacher
I am patient and flexible. I have taught students from children to adults and from complete beginners to advanced students. As a teacher, I find it important to listen to the student and find out what their needs and wishes are and plan the lesson accordingly. I will listen to your suggestions and customize and adapt my lessons to meet your individual needs.

My lessons are relaxed, and I want you to be comfortable with making mistakes.

Teacher’s pick
Tomu-sensei is a great teacher. I'm a bit of an atypical student since I already learned quite a lot of vocabulary and kanji via some self-studying apps. He was able to adapt very quickly to my situation (knowing lots of words/kanji, lacking grammar/conversation skills), and his lessons are never boring. In just one week I feel I am already improving exponentially. I cannot recommend this enough, it's perfect.

I had an excellent time refreshing the basics with Tom! It'd been a while since I had originally learned and he was very helpful. Thank you!

After a long break had another lesson, and it was so good to be able to practice conversation again! ありがとうございます!
