Nice to meet you! I grew up in Latin America.
My background is unusual. I was professional boxer. After the retirement, became an actor. To tell the truth, I appeared in NHK's Taiga and Asa-Drama.
In college, I studied Latin American culture and history, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. So if the conversation is a little difficult, I can teach Japanese in these languages. Never give up!
Me as a Teacher
As an instructor, I taught Japanese to foreign children in Japan. It was difficult to keep the children's concentration and motivation up, but it was a great experience for me.

My lessons & teaching style
My class is very simple. First, I will ask you to introduce yourself so that we can get to know each other. Then I will ask you some questions to broaden the topic. After that, we will talk a lot in Japanese about topics that interest you! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
And to improve your listening comprehension, I'll tell you my story and some funny incidents too! We can handle anything from daily life to serious topics. I try to give my students the freedom to be independent in class, rather than a formal class like at school.
I would be very happy if you could write down your impressions in Japanese after class! Because doing so will improve your writing skills!

Had a great conversation about boxing and culture! Whenever I got stuck on a word or did not understand something Issey wrote it out for me. Thank you!

Issey 先生 is a great teacher. He is patient, helpful, has a clear pronunciation, and makes sure to use help the student understand any difficult points. One of the best teachers I've had on Italki, ありがとうございます Issey 先生!

Fantastic lesson. Issey was extremely patient with me even though my level is extremely low. Able to easily explain any questions I had, or was able to guess what I wanted to say when I couldn't word it correctly!
Issey was patient when I couldn’t form a word, and tried his best to explain a word I didn’t know in Japanese which was very helpful. It motivates me to learn more vocabulary which I’m lacking, but I definitely learned a lot of new words which I will be studying. レッスンありがとうございます!

Very helpful and understanding for Japanese learners like me who need to improve their speaking and listening skills. I definitely would recommend anyone to take Issey Sensei's lessons
