リーダーの自己紹介

- Ms. Lay Yoshimoto Matthews
- Hello everyone. I'm Lay. I was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. I studied Linguistics at university back home, and shortly after graduating, I came to Japan for the first time 12 years ago. Now, I live in Osaka with my husband, son, and dog, Lulu. In my free time, I watch movies or go to karaoke with friends. I love travelling and amusement parks too. I hope to learn all about your hobbies while improving your English and building confidence.

- Mr. James Banks
- Hello, my name is Jim Banks and I am from London in the UK. I have been teaching English in Japan, and other places in Asia, for over 24 years. Learning English should be fun so I’m very much looking forward to meeting you and helping you to speak English in a friendly and relaxed environment. See you soon!

- Mr. Jay Crystall
- Hi everybody! I’m Jay Crystall from New York. I’ve been living in Japan for 13 years. In 2019 I published “Lovesic in Kyoto,” a book about a foreigner's experiences and views on modern day Japan. I’m also a singer/songwriter/ producer with many original songs on YouTube and perform throughout Japan. I own an English school in Kyoto and spend my days and nights building bridges of culture and friendship. I’ll probably stay here in Kyoto forever! Let’s talk!!!

- Mr. Alexander Ambrose
- Hi! I’m Alex. I’m a native from the UK, and I’ve been teaching English for nearly five years. I would love to help support you in becoming more confident when speaking English. By joining my class, I can help you build confidence in English and also help you speak more naturally. I grew up in the Scottish countryside, I love nature and animals. When I was a child, I used to ride horses. In my spare time, I enjoy meditating and yoga. I also love drinking different kinds of tea. I love Japanese fashion, my favourite manga/anime is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Let’s enjoy learning English together!

- Ms. Lisa Marie Green
-
Hi, I’m Lisa from England 🇬🇧, and I’ve been teaching English for over 7 years to students of all levels.
I help with:- Exam preparation
- Improving writing skills (with professional editing feedback)
- Building natural, confident conversation
Before teaching, I worked as a writer and editor, including writing about video games like Nintendo. So I can help you sound clear, natural, and polished. As a Japanese learner myself, I understand how scary learning a language can feel. Don’t worry, we’ll work towards your goals together, step by step, in a relaxed and supportive way.
