🌟I would like to have lessons on Zoom better, so if that works for you, make sure you choose Zoom from the options.🌟
Hello! I am a certified teacher who has taught Japanese in the United States. I majored in English literature during my undergraduate studies and pursued Japanese language education at the graduate level. I love traveling, listening to music, and engaging in some exercises.

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
🗒️ 1. Grammar Class: Includes grammar quizzes and creating sentences using new grammatical concepts.
🗒️ 2. Free Talk: You can choose any topic for our class. Through conversation, I will correct grammar and pronunciation. Additionally, I'll introduce some natural and useful expressions.
🗒️ 3. Learning Japanese with Textbooks:
Using textbooks such as Genki, Minna no Nihongo, Quartet, and Dekiru Nihongo, we can efficiently grasp new grammar concepts. The exercises in these books are highly beneficial, and we can chnage the practices to apply for your lifestyle if needed. I am eager to introduce more natural expressions during these lessons if the language feels too "textbook-Japanese."
Ken has been a very effective and patient teacher in the lessons I've had so far. He gives very useful constructive feedback and is always willing to answer any questions. I look forward to more lessons!

Ken Sensei is a very attentive teacher and we had a smooth conversation throughout whole lesson. It was the first lesson so we had lots of discuss and naturally I made a lot of mistakes, but Ken Sensei was there for me and provided hints and assistance along the way. I enjoyed the lesson through and through!

けんー先生 is an outstanding teacher. Having tried studying with other instructors, I can confidently say that he truly stands out. He is calm, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable, always showing great patience. While his English is excellent, he prioritizes explaining concepts in Japanese first, and gently encourages you to express yourself in Japanese - even when you feel unsure. Our conversations sometimes touch on more personal topics as well, which makes the learning experience feel natural, engaging, and authentic. Always looking forward to my next lesson. ありがとうございます!
