Hello!

Welcome! Let's Start Your English Journey Together! 🎯 Hello there! Call me Fred – your guide to confident English conversation. With 48 years of teaching experience under my belt, I might be what you'd call a "wise old man," but don't let that fool you! I'm healthy, cheerful, and I don't miss lessons unless I have technical problems (which sometimes happen). My secret? I genuinely love what I do, and I love helping students like you discover that speaking English can be enjoyable and natural.

A Little About Me: I'm a native speaker from Seattle, USA, but Tokyo has been my home for many years. This means I deeply understand the unique challenges Japanese learners face when speaking English – and more importantly, I know exactly how to help you overcome them. My students often tell me that I explain things clearly and make even complex grammar points easy to grasp. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me gardening, crafting pottery, sewing hats and bags, enjoying classic rock music, or designing T-shirts on Amazon. I also love a good U.S. TV drama! These hobbies keep me creative and give us plenty to talk about in our conversations. Ready to Improve Your English? Check out my YouTube channel for free lessons: https://www.youtube.com/@CrazyFredsEnglishLessons Pro tip: Don't just listen – REPEAT out loud! Active practice is the key to fluent speaking. Let's speak English together and make real progress. I'm excited to meet you!

Teaching Style

I am a teacher who wants you to become a better speaker of English. The only way to do that is to practice and practice some more. I like to have my students talk a lot. I will correct your mistakes. Please make a lot of mistakes because that is how you get better. I am patient and humorous. If you want to learn grammar, please find a different teacher. I am not a grammar teacher. I think grammar is a barrier for speaking. Practice with me. And you can view me and my style on Crazy Fred's English Lessons on Youtube . Com. There are 80 Listen asnd Repeat videos. Please repeat outloud, not just view the video. Thank you.
