About Claire

Hello, I’m Claire Asato, a dedicated and experienced English teacher with both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in the English teaching field. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in Japan, England, and Australia, including at renowned institutions such as Kanda University of International Studies, the University of Sussex, Sophia University, and Gakushuin University. My experience spans a wide range of learners, including university students, professionals seeking career advancement, individuals preparing for exams, and those looking to improve their language skills for personal development.

 

I specialize in helping students prepare for exams like EIKEN, IELTS, and TOEIC, while also providing tailored support for Academic English. Whether you’re looking to improve your test performance, enhance your communication skills, or strengthen your university application, my goal is to help you build confidence and achieve your aspirations.

 

I take pride in creating a learning environment that is both supportive and challenging, where students feel comfortable yet motivated to reach their full potential. My aim is to provide meaningful, practical knowledge that goes beyond exam preparation, helping you develop skills that will serve you well in life and career. If you’re ready to take the next step in your English journey, I’d love to help you get there
