I love my Japanese lessons with Ken and I’m always looking forward to them. Ken is so easy to get along with and makes you feel very comfortable in a learning environment. Learning a language can be very daunting, but not with Ken 😊 Ken is very patient, friendly and always gives you h/w so you can continue being accountable and achieving your goal! Thanks Ken, can’t wait for our next lesson!

Ken is very kind and patient. He creates a fun environment where even a beginner like me feels comfortable talking, and not overly worried or embarrassed about making mistakes. Even if I'm not sure what to talk about in the conversation class, he keeps the conversation moving. I really recommend him!

I told Ken what I needed and he delivered. He only spoke English when I asked for clarification on something I didn't understand. If you worried about speaking Japanese, he'll patiently wait. I Look forward to next 1...I have a lot to improve...

Can not recommend Ken enough! He’s so supportive throughout the lesson and always gives helpful feedback. He also has a lot of useful resources and puts a lot of effort into preparing lessons, if needed. Thanks Ken!

Another great experience with Ken. Felt more ease, and he gave me some feedback on things to improve upon.
