Business English: Influence & Persuasion
Don't just translate your words. Translate your intent.
Master the art of cross-cultural negotiation, presentation, 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?
I teach strategy, not just grammar.
My approach is built on my first-hand experience. I spent over 15 years working in Tokyo's high-pressure business world—across 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 be effective.

Common Questions
Q. Do you cover TOIEC?
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, our Certificate & Exam Preparation course is a better fit.
Q. Can you help me check a presentation I have next week?
A. Yes. Students often bring real work materials (presentations, emails) to class for review and feedback. This is the best way to learn.
