"Hello everyone and thank you very much for your interest in my English classes and editing/proofreading services!

My name is David, I am from the United States, and I have been teaching English in the US, Japan, and elsewhere in Asia for over 25 years now.

Over that time, I have helped hundreds of students improve their English for both academic and professional purposes and I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals as well.

I have taught students from beginners to experienced international businessmen and businesswomen and am confident I can help you improve your English language skills no matter what your current level is.

To give you a little bit more information on my background, I grew up in Maryland and went to university in Boston at Boston College where I studied finance before moving to Tokyo after graduating college to teach English.

Later, I returned to the US and lived in San Francisco, where I worked in Venture Capital investment for 3 years before going to London to get my MBA at the London Business School.

After that, I returned to Asia where I worked for another 7 years in alternative investments including Hedge Funds, Fund of Fund investing, and Real Estate fund investing in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai. I also have a CFA, so if you are a businessperson or work in investment, you may also know this certification.

I set up my own educational services company about 10 years ago and I now teach academic English and test prep to middle and high school students, and provide college and MBA application consulting and essay proofreading services full-time.

I am a very experienced English language teacher and passionate about education and helping my students achieve their personal goals.

I also speak Japanese, Mandarin, and German, so I know how hard it is to master a new language:-)!

Thanks for your time in reading my introduction and I look forward to seeing you in class!" less...
