Message from Director and teacher(s)

I’m Kévin, headmaster of École Hop-là. I come from a small village located near Rennes in Brittany (North West of France). I have always enjoyed studying foreign languages, that’s why I’ve been traveling extensively: Spain, Canada, United States, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Japan, Vietnam… I can speak several languages: French, English, Spanish and Japanese.

 

I’ve been living in Tokyo since May 2015 and after several experiences in teaching both French and English, the idea of creating my own language school has made its way. So, I decided to open École Hop-là school in December 2017.

 

It’s always been a pleasure for me to teach foreign languages to Japanese who want to learn a new language. If you are looking for a quality school, which knows how to give a personalized attention to the needs and difficulties of each student, École Hop-là is for you.

 

Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

See you soon !

Hello there! My name is Adelaide, I am a native English speaker from Zimbabwe. I have a keen interest in meeting people from different walks of life and I enjoy traveling and exploring new places.

 

I lived and worked in Africa and visited Europe and North America before coming to Japan. I have been living in Japan for several years and my areas of professional interest include ESL speech and listening.
My personal interests include reading, traveling, culinary arts, nature and wildlife.

 

I look forward to meeting you at École Hop-là!

Hello, my name is Yumi !

 

I started learning French when I went to France to study music after graduating from a music college. At first, I only spoke “Bonjour” and “Merci” when I started living in France, and it was very complicated. However, after spending seven years in France, I learned French enough to understand not only everyday conversations, but also news and newspapers without any problems.

 

After returning to Japan, in addition to my work as a musician, I have been working in French, such as French teacher, French interpreter, and French guide-interpreter.

 

As a French teacher, I have taught more than 50 people, from beginners to advanced students. I think French is a language that is not easy to learn. I would like to use my experience of living in France as a Japanese person and learning French to help you enjoy learning French.

 

I look forward to meeting you at Ecole Hop-là!
