About Me
italki teacher since Sep 17, 2021InterestsTravelReadingMusicSports & FitnessHistory
I am 30 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. I currently live in Osaka, Japan where I worked as an English instructor for adults. Now I teach fully online, and get to meet people from all over the world.
I am here to help you improve your spoken English. I also love learning languages, and the best way to do so is with a native speaker who can correct your grammar and pronunciation, teach you new phrases, and build your confidence through conversation practice.
After each lesson you will have the new words and phrases in your italki inbox. Please review!
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!
I am very patient and kind, and will gently correct you throughout the conversation. You will have a copy of all words and phrases in your italki inbox. Please review!
This is your chance to practice speaking with a native English speaker. We will have relaxed conversation lessons that will help build your confidence. Our first class will be getting to know each other and learning y...My teaching material

It was a very good lesson! We talked about different topics such as the weather, sakura, swimming, and much more. It was a really pleasant and enjoyable conversation. Starting my morning with a conversation like that was a great way to begin the day. Thanks, Kenny!

Kenny is one of the most wonderful tutors I have met on Italki. He's nice, casual and full of topics. We have a lot in common and become friends right after our first lesson. Looking forward to further corporation with him.

It was my first lesson on italki and my first time speaking English with a native speaker. I was a bit nervous, but Kenny made me feel comfortable right away. He is very positive, calm, and patient — he explained things clearly and helped me when I got stuck. Highly recommend! I'm looking forward to the next lesson.
