For individuals
1:1 business English coaching in Tokyo
English communication coaching, built around your real work. Private 60-minute sessions focused on how you communicate in English at work — presentations, meetings, client conversations, and the emails you keep rewriting. Online or in-person in Tokyo.
The English you actually use at work,coached one-to-one.
Not textbook lessons. We work on the communication you need this week — the presentation you're giving, the meeting you're running, the client you're calling — so you come across clear, natural, and confident across cultures.

What's included
Every session is fully customized to your needs and your situation.
A custom-built lesson, every time — designed around your goal — presentation prep, meeting comprehension, and more
A written post-session report — session notes, new words, your tricky words and corrections, feedback, and next steps
Between-session support — chat check-ins and document reviews (by plan)
The cultural layer — how directness, silence, and hierarchy read across cultures, so your English lands the way you intend
Who This Is For
This is for you if...
You work with international coworkers, overseas branches, or foreign clients. And you want to communicate and collaborate with them more effectively.
You use English at work, but some moments still feel hard. Fast meetings, presentations, small talk, or saying no politely — you want to close that gap.
You have something specific coming up. A presentation, an interview, a negotiation, a new international role — and you want to be ready for it.
You've studied English for years but rarely use it well under pressure. You want practice on the real thing, with feedback that's honest and specific.
You believe stronger English will open new career opportunities. And you're ready to invest in the work to make that happen.
You want one coach who knows your situation. Not a rotating tutor and a textbook — someone who understands your work, your industry, and your goals.
“I can talk with Kevin like a friend, without feeling nervous — that's why it's easy to keep going. He sets a clear path each week, which makes it easier than studying on my own, and I can feel myself improving.”
