Practise the English you need for film in a private face-to-face lesson in Kyoto or Osaka. Whether you are working in the industry, studying film, preparing for acting opportunities, or developing your first project, each lesson is shaped around your English level and the real situations you want to handle more confidently.
Who These Lessons Are For
These lessons are for directors, producers, writers, actors, casting professionals, cinematographers, editors, production crew, film students, aspiring actors, and emerging filmmakers. You do not need professional credits or a finished project. Bring a real communication challenge, course assignment, audition, project idea, or upcoming industry situation.
English for Filmmakers and Film Students: Pitch Your Project
Bring a pitch deck, treatment, course project, or film idea. Practise explaining the story and answering questions from a potential collaborator, producer, tutor, or client, with feedback on clarity, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
English for Actors and Aspiring Actors
Bring audition sides or a script excerpt to practise reading aloud and discussing the scene. Work on pronunciation, introductions, and expressing your interpretation clearly. These are English lessons focused on communication, rather than acting training.
English for Film Crew: Communicating on Set
Practise giving and checking instructions, discussing a shot or schedule, and asking for clarification on set. Use situations from your own role or the role you are preparing for to build practical vocabulary.
Prepare for Film Festivals, Classes, and Professional Meetings
Rehearse introducing yourself and your project, speaking with international collaborators, participating in class, and following up by email. Bring a real conversation, presentation, or draft email to work through with your tutor.

The exact café and meeting details are confirmed by email after booking. Together, you will practise realistic conversations or review your own material instead of following a generic textbook.
