Comment
どうもマイケルジャポンです。バリバリ日本語話せますのでご安心してください。自分の英語の教え方は普段より深くできます。ちゃんと発音と意味分かりさせる事が得意なんです。雰囲気も絡みやすい人自分でそう思います。多分会う時めちゃ笑ってくれるタイプ。楽しく英語覚えよ。ちゃんと覚えるように頑張って学びさせるのでよろしくお願いします。

Hi I am Michael Gyapong (pronounced Japon). I speak pretty fluent Japanese thanks to watching lots of Japanese Variety TV back when I was living in the states. So sometimes my Kansai Dialect comes out. When it comes to teaching English I think I am best at explaining proper pronunciation and deeper meanings behind words. Yoroshiku

Lesson prices

Lesson Prices(per hour)
Prices:800Yen - 2,000Yen
Trial prices:700Yen - 1,500Yen
As a person with no official qualifications I am willing to compromise on the prices initially, but at the same time I am very confident in my ability to help people retain the information being taught in a useful way.

I am also considering the possibility of doing online only classes as apposed to incorporating traveling costs, or even varying the costs based on the size of group sessions.
