I am very happy to be able to teach Japanese with you. I was a kindergarten teacher for 17 years. After that, I got my Japanese teacher qualification and taught face-to-face classes at a Japanese language school for about three years. Now I teach Japanese to children at an international school, and also teach at a Japanese language school while giving online private lessons. I don't want it to feel like I'm just studying, so I make sure to chat while I'm learning natural Japanese.

Certified Professional Japanese Teacher!! 🐬 Living in Latin-America 🐬 🔞 I do not accept students under 18 years old. 🌸 In my classes, I use the direct method, which is a method of teaching Japanese using only Japanese. Hello, I am Kenji. As a diving instructor, I have been diving in oceans all over the world since I was 18 years old. Australia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Patagonia, etc. Then, at the age of 27, I opened a diving shop in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and set up branches in Loreto and Cancun. Later, I opened a diving shop in Japan, sold all my businesses at the age of 45, and am now basically retired. After retiring at the age of 45, my daily work is investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and currencies, which I have been doing continuously since I was young. And completing the Japanese teacher training course at the age of 47, I started teaching Japanese in Latin America, mainly in Mexico and Colombia. Due to the pandemic, all schools were closed, so I started teaching online. My experience teaching online began in 2020. My personal areas of expertise: economics, politics, management, taxation, marine mammals, travel, scuba diving, surfing, Latin America, music, and musical instruments. 🔞 I do not accept students under 18 years old. 🌸 In my classes, I use the direct method, which is a method of teaching Japanese using only Japanese.

I can understand well what you students can't understand as I've studied many languages. My hobbies and interests. Aerobatics, playing the guitar (flamenco, bossa nova, classical, singing while playing), off-road biking, horseback riding. I love aerobatics, so I went to the US to train as a pilot and got my license. I've traveled to the US several times specifically for aerobatics. I have also competed in an aerobatics competition held in Arizona. I enjoy horseback riding and have been to Mongolia. I studied Mongolian hoping to communicate with the nomadic people. My Japanese language skills. Teaching experience, etc. I attended a Japanese language teaching school to study teaching methods and conducted trial lessons. In 2019, I also passed the "Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test". I'm a "Language Geek" and have studied Spanish, Mongolian, German, and more besides English. From my experience studying these foreign languages, I know the tricks of the trade: what's needed to learn a foreign language, what causes confusion, and how to achieve understanding. I also understand the differences in thinking patterns between languages. This knowledge will surely be useful to you when learning Japanese. Generally, I conduct lessons in Japanese. I don't use textbooks. Since you can understand textbooks by reading them yourself, spending time aimlessly reading textbooks with a teacher during an online lesson is a waste of time. Of course, if you encounter anything you don't understand while reading a textbook, feel free to ask questions anytime.

I tailor my lessons to each learner’s level. I have experience creating JLPT test-preparation textbooks and hold the Registered Japanese Language Teacher license, the national certification issued by Japan’s Ministry of Education. I am also familiar with Japanese used in the travel and tourism industry. I believe vocabulary, grammar, and expressive ability are essential—and enjoying the learning process is just as important. I look forward to teaching Japanese actively and engagingly.

My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。
