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!Me as a Teacher
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! My lessons & teaching style
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 your goals and interests.
Your English level and confidence will steadily improve with each lesson. If you stay consistent, you will see great progress. Don't give up! It takes months and months to learn a language, not a couple lessons here and there.
I have learned to speak Chinese and Japanese. We are on the same journey. I did this by conversing as much as possible with native speakers online and with friends. It takes time. If I can do it, so can you. It's an adventure!My teaching material

Kenny is absolutely the best English teacher I have ever had. He truly understands my learning goals and tailors lessons perfectly to match them. His encouraging approach has helped me gain so much confidence in speaking English. His classes are engaging and efficient, time flies by, and I always walk away with new skills and a smile. Highly recommend!

很不错，蛮有趣的，也很有耐心。对比了几个外教后最终决定坚持和Kenny上课，他会把聊天中的错误指出并发送给你，并且及时纠正，对口语的提升进步很大。是很认真的老师
