Living in Kanazawa, Japan

I was born and raised in Kanazawa, Japan, a beautiful historic city in western Japan. In high school, I participated in a one-year study abroad program in Dunedin, New Zealand, and that was the very beginning of my journey of learning and mastering English! Some of my hobbies include running, traveling, watching documentary movies, and building my English skills! 僕は石川県金沢市で生まれ育ち、現在も金沢在住です。高校時代に、ニュージーランドへ1年間留学する機会があり、その時から語学の学習に勤しみ、また大学では国際関係を専攻していました。小旅行に出かけたり、ドキュメンタリー番組を見る事が好きです。そのようなちょっとした会話も、レッスン中に学習も兼ねてできればと思います! The college I went to in Boston, USA, had a language and culture learning club, so I had my own class and taught Japanese there for about four consecutive semesters. My students were from all different levels, so I tried my best to tailor my lessons to make each lesson fun and interesting for everyone in the class. My goal for every italki lesson is to make it as interactive as possible! I strongly believe that we all learn and get better at a language by actually using it and making millions of mistakes! Please feel free to ask me any questions during my lesson, and I will answer them in the easiest possible way for you to understand. レッスンは会話中心で、皆さんが疑問に思っている事、学校や参考書で習った文章や文法で分からない事などがあれば、どんな事でも聞いて下さい! また、ビジネス英語やTOEICなど、特殊な場面で使う英語も、説明できる限りしたいと思っています。

Had a great first lesson with Gen Ueda. He does a great job of discussing your language needs and goals to create a language learning “game plan” to fit your needs—which for me is “travel” Japanese. Gen is fluent in Japanese & English and explains language nuances and grammar very well. I’d recommend him to other English-speaking Japanese learners. I plan to schedule future Japanese lessons with him.

This was my first ever Japanese conversation. Gen was very patient and kept the conversation interesting while giving valuable feedback. His English is top notch, and he can explain clearly in English as needed. I'm very happy to have found a long-term Japanese tutor.

Great initial lesson with Gen san, the teacher explained the basics of Japanese grammar and I hope to explore this topic further with him soon.

Gen was very kind and patient in explaining everything. He also understands the struggle of learning a language and he guides in handling the challenges.

I had my first lesson with Gen today, and I enjoyed it a lot! We started with brief self-introductions and then discussed some of my learning goals. Overall, he was understanding of my current Japanese level, and I could easily follow all his feedback during our speaking practice. I'm looking forward to our future lessons!
