🌟I would like to have lessons on Zoom better, so if that works for you, make sure you choose Zoom from the options.🌟 Hello! I am a certified teacher who has taught Japanese in the United States. I majored in English literature during my undergraduate studies and pursued Japanese language education at the graduate level. I love traveling, listening to music, and engaging in some exercises. 🚨There might be a possibility of last-minute rescheduling .

Ken is the best teacher! He is easy to talk to, relaxed, and happy to help in any way he can. I was quite nervous and giggly and he made it feel natural and easy to speak the small amount of Japanese I know. I immediately booked my next lesson! Definitely learn with Ken-san, you won't regret it! ありがとうございます!

Ken-sensei has been very patient and helpful. It is obvious he enjoys teaching Japanese. He is very flexible and understanding when schedule issues arise.

Ken Sensei is amazing. He provides very good material and is a wonderful person to talk to. He's always willing to help me understand the material and does so in such a fun and kind way. I certainly recommend Ken Sensei for anyone who is looking for a great teacher. ありがとう！

けんー先生 is an outstanding teacher. Having tried studying with other instructors, I can confidently say that he truly stands out. He is calm, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable, always showing great patience. While his English is excellent, he prioritizes explaining concepts in Japanese first, and gently encourages you to express yourself in Japanese - even when you feel unsure. Our conversations sometimes touch on more personal topics as well, which makes the learning experience feel natural, engaging, and authentic. Always looking forward to my next lesson. ありがとうございます！
