こんにちは！私はKenです。関西出身ですが、東京に30年以上住んでいます。大阪芸術大学で放送を専攻し、卒業後は東京で映画館のマネージャーをしていました。今は別の仕事をしていますが、映画はよく見ます。ゴジラや怪獣、特撮、ホラー映画、B級映画が好きです。最近では「ミッシング・チャイルド・ビデオテープ」が面白かったです。あとは、コスプレも楽しんでいます。歴史にも興味があり、戦国時代が好きです。皆さんとお話できるのを楽しみにしています！ Hi, I’m Ken. I live in Tokyo, but I was born and raised in Shiga in western Japan. After graduating from Osaka University of Arts with a degree in broadcasting, I worked as a manager at movie theaters in Tokyo. I’m still passionate about movies, especially Godzilla, kaiju, tokusatsu, horror, and B movies. My recent favorite is "Missing Child Videotape". I also enjoy cosplaying at events. I'm very interested in Japanese history as well. I’m looking forward to talking with you!

Me as a Teacher

私はフレンドリーで明るく、話すのが好きです。皆さんが間違いを気にせず、安心してたくさん話せるように心がけています。レッスンはすべて日本語で行います。（英語はほんの少しだけ分かります。）中級や上級の方には、語彙を増やしたり表現の幅を広げたりするお手伝いもできます。 I'm friendly, fun, patient and easy to talk to. I encourage students to talk without being shy or afraid of making mistakes! I can only speak/understand little English and my lessons will be conducted in all Japanese. I like history and have a wide variety of interests, so I can help intermediate & advanced students increase vocabulary.

Ken Sensei always provides lots of follow-up links after lessons, to help answer my questions. He has a lot of cultural and historical knowledge which makes our discussions very interesting.

ケンさん has been wonderful for the ten months and 40 lessons I have had him as a teacher. He was happy to discuss any topics I brought up, from education to history, to current issues and beyond, and always had interesting stories and viewpoints. I would strongly encourage any prospective student to take a lesson and see for yourself.

Ken is always enjoyable to talk to and he shares lot of articles and links so that I can learn more about the things we discuss in class. If you're interested in either current newsworthy events in Japan or historical ones I recommend booking one of his classes!
