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.

An FBI-inspired method to help you speak sooner I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years. I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step. What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning. The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally. I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences. CANCELLATION POLICY I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please do not request rescheduling within 24 hours. If you cannot attend, let me know and schedule a new lesson online. I appreciate you and value your time.
