I have experience teaching Japanese in schools and local communities, and I love helping learners understand not only the language, but also Japanese culture. From beginners to advanced students, let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!Me as a Teacher
I understand the struggles of learning a new language. Having lived abroad myself, I know how frustrating it can be to get your point across. I'll use my experience to make your learning journey as fun and smooth as possible.
From business to travel, I can help you with your specific goals. I have a professional background in electronics, marketing, and sales, so I can teach you not only general conversation but also business Japanese. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are for you if...
-You're a beginner who wants to learn more than just a textbook.
Let's learn practical Japanese for your trip to Japan, or get to know Japanese culture and seasons in a fun way!
-You want to speak more confidently and naturally.
Do you feel stuck using only the Japanese you learned in a textbook? I'll help you use more natural and casual expressions, so you can enjoy conversations about Japanese culture, and daily life.
In my lessons, you will learn to...
-Speak naturally using expressions that Japanese people actually use.
-Understand and use correct grammar in a practical context.
-Feel confident having conversations in Japanese.

Ken has been an amazing teacher so far! I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He has been really helpful and patient in lessons and can easily answer my questions about the language. I'm looking forward to more lessons and improving my Japanese. Thanks Ken!
