自 己 紹 介
A wonderful day dear students!
My name is Teacher Tobey. ^_^
Nice to meet you here!
I am what's called a Japanophile.
It means I love Japanese culture and its people! <3 <3 <3
At my university, I took up International Studies because I love learning about geography, world cultures, peoples and especially, their languages.
My TOEIC score is 955/990.
I have taught English for more than two
years now, from kids to adults and to the elderly. And I must say, the Japanese personality is very endearing to me. I'm so delighted to have met and befriended many Nihonjin because it has been my childhood dream to have many Japanese friends. This is why I'm also studying Nihonggo.
My dream in the future is to become a successful Anison and J-Pop singer and also a mangaka! In my free time, I rehearse a lot of English and Japanese songs. I also write and develop my own stories and characters so that in the future, I can get published in Shonen Jump Magazine! :-O
My style in teaching English is very cheerful, energetic and omoshiroii!
And if you have difficulty in speaking, that's alright, because I can speak a little Japanese. I can guide you to learning English the easy and fun way, so "Hazukashii garanaide ne?" ^_^
I am looking forward to meet you soon!
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! :-D
Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Asian markets in 'bloodbath' after trade tariffs" that you kindly selected on 17 April 2025.
As I said in the lesson, the stock market in Japan has been affected by Doranl Trump's comment.
However, he was determined to raise the tariff sooner or later and he won't withdraw his decision.
We should prepare for the coming recession soon.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
As I mentioned in the lesson, the English teaching method in Japan retards the English proficiency of Japanese.
when I was a junior high school student, I was forced to use 100% correct English grammar, even though the expression is not proper.
Then, when I was in high school, I was forced to read a lot of long English sentences to pass university exams without adequate listening and writing training.
The state of English education in Japan has not changed significantly to this day.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
As I mentioned in the lesson, news related to US President Trump is often reported even in Japanese media.
Most Japanese are worried about the profits of Japanese companies because he will impose high tariffs on many products imported into the US.
In addition, he also seems to show a conciliatory attitude toward Russia during the war between Ukraine and Russia.
His behavior also irritated the Japanese because Japan has a territorial dispute with Russia.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I bought a smart phone for my children last Sunday.
The smartphone has basic functions which are talking, sending/receiving messages and camera.
It does not have web browsing or any other Apps.
Of course, the monthly fee for using it is not expensive, it is only approximately 190 PHP.
So I'm a little concerned that my kids might complain about the very simple smartphone.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Top U.S. & World Headlines" that you kindly selected on 27 Feb. 2025.
Even NHK reported the latest activities of President Trump, but some of the videos in the channel "The video of Democracy Now!" have not been reported in Japan.
According to yesterday's NEWS, there were arguments in the meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy. They failed to negotiate.
Many people judge him to be a competent businessman, but not a politician from the point of view of other nations.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class as always from the the topic about computer security that you kindly selected on 20 Feb. 2025.
I thought that a Spyware covertly may be working in your PC. It sometimes brings unexpcted behavior.
In addition, it would not be easy to remove it esplecially for casual users.
For that reason, The best solution I recommend is that you purchase a new PC , because it does not have any suspicious application softwares.
Of course, you can do factory reset on your PC or buy older model PC with cheap price.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Tobey.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always from the the topic about "Computer Security" that you kindly selected on 12 Feb. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I allow our company to access the laptop because our company lends it to me for work use for security reasons. For example, the company has a duty to prevent an employee's PC from being infected with a computer virus.
So I don't put any personal information on it.
On the other hand, social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and X obtain our personal information in return of our use of their services for free.
I have accounts of the major social media , whereas I never enter my exact information such as name, address, occupation, etc.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
