講師詳細Teacher's Details

Hello there!

My name is Thomas and I'm from Los Angeles, California (USA). I am an English teacher and writer with a Bachelor's degree in English and Japanese as well as a Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).

I love to travel, meet new people, help others and learn new things. I have found that teaching in Asia is something that allows me to do all of these things.

In my teaching career, I have taught in universities and international schools in Japan, Taiwan, mainland China, Thailand, Myanmar, and Vietnam. I also recently finished an EFL textbook on Film English, published by Tsinghua University Press in Beijing.

I first visited Asia as a Rotary International exchange student to Ibaraki when I was in university. I later studied Japanese for a year at Kansai Gaidai in Osaka. Then I worked as a teacher in Nagoya and Tochigi after I finished university.

Besides teaching I have worked in other jobs, doing research for JETRO Los Angeles, The Development Bank of Japan and JBIC (Japan Bank of International Cooperation). I also worked for American Express Financial Advisors and even started my own import trading company. But I discovered that the thing I enjoyed the most was teaching and helping people improve themselves.

So here I am teaching online with Eigox while also teaching English, History, and Film Studies in an international school in Thailand. I am happy to help you study for exams or improve your general English or Business English.  Like you, I am a language student, since I have studied Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Thai, Myanmar, Spanish and Vietnamese. 

I am looking forward to chatting with you soon.

Best regards,

Thomas
