Konnichiwa!

My name is Allan, and I'm from the beautiful tropical islands of the Philippines!🏝🇵🇭

I have been teaching the English language for more than five years. My passion for teaching started when I was in junior high school. I participated in a student-teacher program at our school. The first subject I taught was Arts for freshmen students, and it was in the English language. I was also a feature writer for our school's official publication/newspaper.

I grew up knowing and embracing the Japanese culture because some family members lived and worked in Japan. At an early age, I learned how to use chopsticks and eat sushi, tempura, maki, ramen, tonkatsu, and my ultimate favorite - takoyaki!

I also love watching anime and Japanese TV series since I was a kid. Visiting the Land of the Rising Sun is number 1 on my bucket list. Sugu ni!

My first international student was a Japanese from Nagoya-shi, Aichi. She even studied and finished high school in Manila. That was when I started learning Nihongo and became a JPop fan. We became very good friends and still connected through social media. Currently, I'm doing online English lessons mostly with Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Thai students.

As a teacher, I am goal-driven, compassionate, patient, and fun-loving.

Be it pronunciation, business, or basic to advanced conversational English, I will help you learn and embrace English with love. I have a Level 5 Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language with specializations in Teaching IELTS & TOEIC, Teaching English Online, Teaching Business English, Teaching Young Learners, and Advanced Grammar.

Mata ne! I'm looking forward to meeting you! We will make learning English a fun-filled and exciting one.

Domo arigatou gozaimashita!
