I have experience teaching Japanese in schools and local communities. I specialize in helping beginner students build a strong and correct foundation.Me as a Teacher
I specialize in beginner students and use structured materials such as “Minna no Nihongo” to help you build a strong foundation.
I understand how difficult it can be to speak a new language. My lessons are calm, supportive, and well-organized, so you can feel safe and confident while learning. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are perfect for beginners who want:
-Clear grammar explanations
-Plenty of speaking practice
-Structured progress
-A safe and supportive environment
In every lesson, you will speak a lot using the target grammar and receive clear corrections and feedback.
* Trial Lesson*
In the trial lesson, I will:
-Check your level
-Let you speak as much as possible
-Give you detailed feedback
-Create a clear study plan for you
As a Kyoto native, I also introduce small cultural insights in simple Japanese.
Let’s build your Japanese step by step — confidently and naturally.My teaching material

Sensei Ken is truly passionate in the way he teaches his lessons.
He always tries to help you and enjoys challenging you so that you can make faster progress. He is also genuinely happy when he sees your improvement.
I am very satisfied with the lessons and look forward to continuing.

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!
