About Me

I have taught English (ESL) in Japan for 27 years. I am American but have lived in Japan for that long. I served as editor, college instructor, Head of English Reading Research, seminar teacher of teachers, and official English grammarian and FAQ Man for the Speed Reading Systems Division of KUMON at its World Headquarters, Ichigaya, Japan. I worked for them for ten years. I was also Assistant Dean of Faculty and Materials at Thinking in English (TIE) Schools in Japan. I have mostly taught in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Richard is one of the most generous teachers I have encountered not only online but also in person. He is eager to share with students his knowledge and life experiences. If you are a serious learner and want to push yourself, even more, meet with Richard. He is a hidden treasure on Verbling.

Wenn du einen Lehrer suchst, der intelligent und lustig ist, dann wähle Richard. Die Stunden mit Richard vergehen wie im Flug und oft schmerzt der Bauch vom Lachen. Meine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung. Er spricht native amerikanisch, kann aber so ziemlich jeden Slang imitieren. Ein echtes Talent.
