Hello everyone! 

My name is Shane Timothy O'Neill and I'm a Native English speaker from Ireland who has just returned from 2 years teaching abroad in Bangkok, Thailand.

I'm an extroverted person who loves to meet new people and experience new cultures. This is why I moved to Thailand initially and why I now love befriending Japanese natives while helping them improve their English.

My motivation for teaching English comes from the immense sense of satisfaction I get watching students develop each and every day. It truly is a rewarding job! Outside of teaching, I'm a keen Sportsman who enjoys football, boxing, MMA and rugby. On top of this, I'm also very interested in the world of Business which is why I'm currently undertaking my Post Graduate Diploma in Business Education Teaching at Secondary School Level.

My teaching style is based around creating a comfortable learning experience for the student, because I am fully aware how scary it can be learning a foreign language. I believe students learn best when learning is fun!! I have experience teaching Phonics, Bookwork and Reading but my biggest strength is Conversation teaching, because of my relaxed manner and approachable style. 

Hope to hear from you guys soon!
