英会話プライベートレッスン

Hi there.

My name’s Simon. I’ll be one of the teachers at Awesome English.

You can read a little about me on my profile, but I’ll introduce myself here as well.

I come from England, which is of course the home of the English language. I speak with a very neutral English accent (which really means no accent at all). Most students find it easy to understand my English, as it is very clear. However, if you’re particularly accustomed to American English, it may not be so easy!

Although I’m originally from a town called Bradford, I left there when I was only 4. From age 4 to 11, I lived outside England, on a small island called Guernsey. It’s a beautiful island, but not very fun for a young child to grow up, as there’s not so much to do. When I was 11, I moved back to England, to go to boarding school. A boarding school means you live at the school. I was at boarding school until I was 18, during which time I became interested in Japan.

I had the opportunity to study Japanese at school (it’s unusual to be able to study Japanese at school in England) from when I was 16. I really enjoyed the class, and wanted to come to Japan after I finished school. I did just that, for 6 months, and fell in love with Japan. I went back to England to study at university in London, and then came back to live in Japan after finishing at university. I have now been here for about 2 and a half years, and I’m sure I’ll stay for many more years to come.

I hope you’ll come to meet me at Awesome English, so we can get to know each other a little. Most importantly of course, I’m looking forward to helping you to improve your English skills.

See you!

Simon
