Highly recommended! Ken is simply fantastic. He has a natural gift for teaching and can explain what appear to be the most complex things in memorable and easy-to-digest gems. Before, I was even not able to converse with English speakers, while, after learning with Ken, guess what, I’m giving lectures in English!!! Classes with Ken have been so worthwhile!!!

Ken has been an absolutely incredible teacher all the way from minute 1. This is a great example for “Functional Japanese”. He knows how people speak Japanese, great ways to practice, as well as making it enjoyable. Learning from Ken is not a chore. If you are attempting to learn Japanese I HIGHLY recommend Ken. Fun, efficient and rewarding.

This lesson, we went over some Japanese songs from a show my son likes to watch. This was helpful as a mother, as a language learner, and to help me understand more cultural nuances.

Ken has been a very patient teacher for over a year and half now. He has challenged me to take the JLPT and is always very encouraging. By far, he is the best Italki teacher I've had!

Ken-sensei listened carefully to my requests and concerns. He is a very dedicated teacher. Thank you very much.

Ken-sensei is always easy to talk to and explains grammar/vocabulary choices thoroughly.
