✨The Zoom application is preferred. If you have the Zoom app, please select it when booking my lesson. It's because screen sharing is more convenient on Zoom. Thank you. If not, we can also use Skype!✨
Hello! I am a certified teacher living in the U.S. I majored in English literature during my undergraduate studies and pursued Japanese language education at the graduate level. Currently, I teach Japanese at a local high school. I love traveling, listening to music, and engaging in some exercises.
🚨There might be a possibility of last-minute rescheduling as I am living with my host family.
Ich als Lehrkraft
✏️ I never put any pressure on learners and strive to create a positive atmosphere during our class.
✏️ I can assign homework if you're interested, so please feel free to share your thoughts.
✏️ If you would like to use your own textbook, you are welcome to do so. Don't hesitate to let me know.
✏️ I am very passionate about teaching Japanese.
Even if you cannot attend class suddenly, no worries; we can reschedule our class for another time.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
🗒️ 1. Grammar Class: Includes grammar quizzes and creating sentences using new grammatical concepts.
🗒️ 2. Free Talk: You can choose any topic for our class. Through conversation, I will correct grammar and pronunciation. Additionally, I'll introduce some natural and useful expressions.
🗒️ 3. Learning Japanese with Textbooks:
Using textbooks such as Genki, Minna no Nihongo, Quartet, and Dekiru Nihongo, we can efficiently grasp new grammar concepts. The exercises in these books are highly beneficial, and we can chnage the practices to apply for your lifestyle if needed. I am eager to introduce more natural expressions during these lessons if the language feels too "textbook-Japanese."
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!

けん先生 is the best teacher I’ve ever met throughout my journey in learning Japanese for ~2 years. He’s able to explain new vocabularies and grammar concepts in simple and understandable Japanese. I really appreciate how well-prepared he is for our lessons and they are structured in a way where we can make the most of the time during class to practice both verbal and written Japanese. All of the learning materials are available after lesson and includes everything that we’ve covered in the class. He constantly checks in to make sure that I am keeping up and if I have any questions, he is always happy to help and explains everything in a clear and logical manner. He is genuinely passionate and devoted in teaching. I look forward to continuing my Japanese-learning journey with けん先生!🌟

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.

I just finished my trial lesson with Ken and it was great. He listened to my goals and we agreed on a plan for me to achieve them. We then went over a lesson in Genki and he shares his screen and makes notes about the lesson in real time and was patient when I had to interrupt and ask question. I instantly booked a 5 lesson plan to move forward. Definitely recommend!

I have had several classes with ken, and I feel confident in the study and review of our course material. I enjoy our conversations in Japanese, which allows me to practice my overall pronunciation. I look forward to future lessons with ken and would definitely recommend.
