🌻 Kenya Sensei

Kenya is truly an amazing teacher. He is extremely friendly and kind, always encouraging, and seamless in how he gives feedback. The feedback (correcting sentence structure, grammar, or word choice, for instance) is either worked naturally into the conversation or he will update a shared Google doc during the conversation so that you can review afterward. Always patient and ready to swap stories (he lives a very exciting life!), he also always comes prepared and is purposeful about what you're learning and why) so that you're always improving and following a course of action that is relevant to you. We've known each other for years now because of Italki and I always look forward to our lessons. You will, too!

I’ve been having classes with Kenya せんせい for over 6 months now and I’m really happy I found him. Classes are extremely well prepared - you can tell that he put a lot of effort into preparing the sides and handouts. He’s also able to speak many languages, which creates some fun moments when comparing their differences. If what you want is to really learn japanese, then he’s your teacher!

Another great lesson with Kenya Sensei! I feel like I've learnt so much more with his lessons than with any other course I've tried, and can finally understand how to structure a sentence! He's really easy going but comes so prepared and explains things in such a clear way that it's easy to make quick progress. Definitely recommend him as a great teacher!

Thank you for the great trial lesson, Kenya! It was fun talking to you and I‘m looking forward to our next lesson!

Kenya Sensei is an excellent teacher.

Kenya and I have been working towards my goals of learning Japanese, these goals have evolved over the years and started with me wanting to prepare for a vacation I had. However, as my studies have grown more serious and after traveling to the country a few times they have shifted towards a deeper understanding of the language. With my current goals of living in Japan for an extended time we've worked on preparing for the N3 later this year. We cover grammar points that will be useful and have gone through preparatory books, completing できる日本語 and starting 中級へ行こう. I'm excited for where my learning takes me and hope that over the next several months we can work towards passing the N3.
