Hello!

Want to speak English more naturally and confidently in real conversations? I focus on relaxed, engaging conversation practice that helps you express your ideas clearly and comfortably. Hello! I’m Scott, an American tutor with over 25 years of English teaching experience. I’ve lived and worked in China and Japan, where I owned small English schools in Nagoya and Chongqing. These experiences taught me how to make English practice simple, practical, and enjoyable. My lessons are friendly and conversational, designed to help you build real confidence for everyday life, travel, or work. If you’d like relaxed conversation practice with a supportive and experienced tutor, I’d be happy to meet you. After much experimentation I have decided I will be available between 7 PM - 3 AM Thailand time.

I’m a friendly and curious person who enjoys meeting people from different cultures and learning about their lives and ideas. I taught English for more than 25 years in Sacramento, California, Nagoya, Japan, and Chongqing, China. For the past 11 years I’ve been living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where I enjoy the history, culture and relaxed lifestyle. I’ve also traveled to many countries and enjoy an active lifestyle. In my free time I practice yoga and meditation, and I enjoy swimming and being outdoors. Earlier in life I raced motocross and enduro, and I’ve always loved activities like surfing and skateboarding. I enjoy conversations about travel, culture, ideas, and everyday life, and I try to create a relaxed environment where speaking English feels natural and enjoyable.
