About Me
italki teacher since Dec 11, 2018Interest topicFoodFilms & TV SeriesWriting
As I talked on my PV above, I have studied history of philosophy, which means I am interested in a variety of topics. However, the topics I am most comfortable at speaking about (besides grammar) are the following: 17th Century Philosophy, Descartes, Aristotle, Leibniz Kant; medicinal cannibalism, philosophy of witchcraft, the Haitian zombies (anthropology), Ninja science, Yōkai Phenomena in early modern Japan.
I am also interested in discussing about movies, anime, books, politics and history in general.Me as a Teacher
I have always been interested in teaching and my first part time job after graduating from high school was an English teacher at a cram school. Since then, I fell in love with learning with the students through teaching and cultivating curiosities and experiencing the joy of discovering. I am studying to become a professor/researcher at a university now. So my passion for teaching has always existed and I am pleasantly surprised by students in lessons because I learn a lot from them as much as they (hopefully) learn from me. Perhaps, this YouTube clip I recently made makes it more clear about my cheerful and talkative characters. https://youtu.be/g-saEIGeQzAMy lessons & teaching style
My lesson style is best described as a semi-formal university lecture - by that, I mean we can either start informally by discussing various topics to further both the use and understanding of grammar while engaging in meaningful conversations. As you may see, I am primarily interested in teaching in English (so my target students are English speakers) as this serves me to have a good experience to help me further my career as a teacher. I also teach Japanese for people who are beginners rather than someone already fluent. Lessons are customized for each student and we will discuss bout where we want to go in lessons together. Also, students are free to record the lessons. Video or audio.My teaching material

This was a lesson for my 6 year old son. I can't say enough about what an amazing teacher Issei is! My son instantly warmed up to him and they hit it off. My son can be shy with strangers, but Issei had asked ahead of time for my son's interested. My son can't wait for the next lesson. Thank you very much!

Wow! Just wow! Such a professional, enthusiastic and experienced teacher is really rare to find! New to italki, but he has a vast experience of teaching on-line - and it shows. :)
Moreover - he lived in Canada for a long time, his English is perfect and he understands both cultures completely. It says here he is a "community tutor" but, well, it must be just a matter of time until he get the professional badge - and raises the prices! ;) So - don't think twice - Issei is the best teacher for you - and for anyone! :)
