Influence & Persuasion
Don't just translate your words. Translate your intent.
Professional English coaching for cross-cultural negotiation, presentations, and leadership.
"My English is polite, but I can't say 'No'."
This is the most common challenge for Japanese professionals. You know the vocabulary, but you struggle to navigate the nuance. How do you disagree without being rude? How do you push back on a deadline? How do you sell without sounding aggressive?
Alongside grammar, I focus on strategy—how English functions in real business decisions.
This isn't a textbook-driven course. It's long-term professional mentorship through English—grounded in your real work.
My approach is built on my first-hand experience. I spent nearly 18 years working in Tokyo's business world—in global corporations and small startups where I wore "many hats" in sales, marketing, and IT. I understand that in business, your English doesn't just need to be correct; it needs to get results.

Common Questions
Q. Do you cover TOEIC?
A. While this course improves general proficiency, it focuses on practical output (speaking/writing) rather than test-taking tricks. If your primary goal is a test score, the Certificate & Exam Preparation course is a better fit.
Q. Can you help me check a presentation I have next week?
A. Yes, absolutely—during the lesson. Bringing real work to class is the most effective way to learn. However, please note that I cannot provide offline proofreading or editing services outside of scheduled class time.
Q. How much does the trial lesson cost?
A. Trial lessons are completely FREE! The 20-30 minute consultation allows me to assess your current business English level and recommend the best plan for your professional needs. We can discuss your industry-specific goals with no obligation to enroll.
