I am a Canadian that grew up speaking both English and Japanese, I've always been 'that guy' to ask how to say 'so and so' in Japanese or English
I love cooking and trying new foods. I also love to introduce people to new dishes.
I was a big comic nerd through the 90s (Xmen, Punisher, Spawn) and watching the rise of comic book based movies
My name is Ken and I am here to help you learn Japanese and help minimize your accent in English.
I teach Japanese from beginner all the way through to upper intermediates. I have many different lesson styles and will adapt to fit your particular needs.
My strength as an English teacher is to help you attain a more 'Americanized' accent.

Highly recommended!
Ken is simply fantastic. He has a natural gift for teaching and can explain what appear to be the most complex things in memorable and easy-to-digest gems.
Before, I was even not able to converse with English speakers, while, after learning with Ken, guess what, I’m giving lectures in English!!!
Classes with Ken have been so worthwhile!!!
Ken has been an absolutely incredible teacher all the way from minute 1. This is a great example for “Functional Japanese”. He knows how people speak Japanese, great ways to practice, as well as making it enjoyable. Learning from Ken is not a chore. If you are attempting to learn Japanese I HIGHLY recommend Ken. Fun, efficient and rewarding.

Ken-sensei is always easy to talk to and explains grammar/vocabulary choices thoroughly.

Ken has been a very patient teacher for over a year and half now. He has challenged me to take the JLPT and is always very encouraging. By far, he is the best Italki teacher I've had!

This lesson, we went over some Japanese songs from a show my son likes to watch. This was helpful as a mother, as a language learner, and to help me understand more cultural nuances.
