I am 29 years old and from Florida, USA. I lived in Taiwan for 3 years and taught English at an international school, public elementary school, and an after-school program for kids. Now I live in Osaka, Japan where I will soon begin work as an English instructor. I have also worked with adults online to help improve their conversational English. I love meeting people from all over the world. I also love learning languages to make friends, experience different cultures, and make memories.
Ich als Lehrkraft
While I have a TEFL certification and a master's and bachelor's degree in East Asian Studies, I bring a relaxed, friendly style to our classroom. My goal is to help build your confidence in the language so you can go out in real life and speak with native English speakers. Because I love learning languages, I bring that enthusiasm into our conversations. We get to learn from each other, and have a good time!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
This is your chance to practice speaking with a native English speaker. We will have informal conversation lessons that will help build your confidence. Our first class will be getting to know each other and learning your goals and interests. That way, our future conversations can have content that is interesting to you, while helping you reach your goals with the language.

Kenny is an excellent teacher. I've been having classes with him regularly, and every time is a fun time. Time goes by fast when we talk and laugh a lot, but most importantly, he helps you improve your speaking and pronunciation while you are in the conversation. He also suggests new words and slang and explains them so that they help to increase your vocabulary.
I really recommend taking at least one class with him so you can experience the laughter and learning at the same time. He is an awesome guy!

It was an anxiety-free first class with Kenny. I've felt like I was participating in a conversation naturally. Kenny kindly corrected my grammar mistakes and I felt really great cause I was able to follow his speech all along. I think I have a good grasp on English language but I am seriously lacking speaking practice. Thus, it was a very motivating and uplifting experience overall.
