I’ve been teaching English for almost 30 years. I have a University degree, and qualifications for TEFL, TOEIC and teacher training. I have a great deal of experience teaching to students from all age groups, from 6 to 90, at many ability levels. I have lived and worked in many countries, including the USA, Mexico, Russia, France, and for the last 11 years, in Japan I can speak basic Japanese, and intermediate French. My teaching style is friendly and relaxed, and I feel that I can create a strong bond between myself and my students, and can bring out the best in their abilities. In my free time I enjoy hiking, writing, surfing - and learning more about beautiful Japan.

I am an American teacher from the Seattle area. I studied linguistics at my university and love languages. I have experience teaching people of all ages and backgrounds. However I  especially enjoy working with young children. I hope to inspire an interest in learning English. Please come play together with me!

I have been working at an UK university for over 10 years. I can help with business English, English for  study and English for computing and programming jobs. I enjoy travelling, languages and technology - Tokyo is my kind of place! I had worked for a Japanese company in the past and always wanted to spend more time in Japan, and luckily the chance came along! I have been training karate for many years and I now enjoy training with a local Tokyo club, although I don't understand my sensei most of the time. You are welcome to talk to me  about travel, culture, sports, anything!

Hi, my name is Emi Peace. I've been teaching English since 2019. I spent 10 years in the British Education system and graduated with 9 GCSEs, and 3 GCEs (A-levels). Including A grades in English and Japanese. In my free time I love traveling, watching films and have an interest in art. I'm always interested in other cultures and languages and at the moment I am studying Korean. I'm looking forward to seeing you in class!

Hello! My name is Alisa, and I am currently a student at the School of International Liberal Studies at Waseda University. I have had a British education since the age of 2, and have gotten IGCSE and A Level Qualifications, as well as English language qualifications such as Eiken Grade 1, IELTS and TOEFL. One of my hobbies is learning languages and other than Japanese and English, I speak French and am currently studying Spanish and Korean. I also like playing the piano, composing music, reading, and skiing. In class I hope we can have fun learning English!

I've been teaching at Lykeio for over two years now and love teaching, especially children. Before that, I was a volunteer teacher at a primary school in London during high school. I've grown up in London my whole life and moved to Tokyo for university where I am in my final year of studies in International Relations at The University of Tokyo. I have studied abroad in Germany and speak some German, too. I enjoy travelling and exploring different cultures and cuisines as well as swimming, reading and playing squash.

I've been teaching English for the past 4 years in both England and Japan. I love to make my lessons as fun and useful as possible, believing that the best way to improve is through engagement!  I was born in the UK and moved to Japan two ears ago to pursue a university degree at The University of Tokyo. I love meeting people lots of people from different backgrounds and will always be happy to talk if you run into me at the school.

I’ve been teaching English and Mandarin Chinese of all levels since January 2020 at Lykeio, before which I also had experiences tutoring TOEFL, SAT, and SAT subject tests (Maths, US History, etc.) for US college application in China and Japan. I major in East Asian Studies and Linguistics and have interests in neuroscience as well, so feel free to ask me anything about languages in general and human cognition during the classes! Apart from English, Chinese, and Japanese, I also speak German and a bit French, and I’m more than willing to give you advices on how to acquire a language efficiently and less painfully (lol). Apart from that, I travel a lot, run a personal art blog, and can talk for eternity about sci-fi movies and novels.
