About the tutor

Hello everyone!


My name is Ken, originally from Tokyo.


I speak English, Spanish, and Japanese. I had various experiences which might help you with your area of interests. I am teaching japanese 30008 hours, and counting.


I have taught Japanese for many years, both in universities and high schools, Japanese companies, Japanese associations/schools and private classes/home tutoring, in more than six Summer Olympic terms and in several countries.


I have used several textbooks, such as "Minna no Nihongo" (Basic Level I L.1-L.25, Basic Level II L.26-L.50), "Genki" (I L.1-L.12, II L.13-L.23), "Marugoto" (A1 L.1-L.18, A2-1 L.1-L.18, A2-2 L.1-L.18), "Basic Kanji Book " (Vol.1 L.1-L.22, Vol.2 L.23-L.45), and others, to teach Japanese using Spanish, to more than 3000 students.


I have also worked in several international Japanese companies, so I can teach business Japanese.


In addition, I have translated books.



Since I was young, I have practiced pronunciation for actors in Japan and various countries, so I can teach Japanese with clear and easy-to-understand pronunciation for beginners. However, I can also speak in ways that are harder to understand on purpose or with emotions for advanced students.


I am a member of SAG-AFTRA (Screen and Television Actors Guild of America and Federation of Radio Artists), with an honorable withdrawal.


My teaching style is based on following the textbook.


In the past, I have taught elementary students, but I don't like to continually teach children who don't understand grammar just by reading picture books every day and feel no progress in their Japanese skill.


Even if you don't speak English or Spanish, with today's technological advances, I invite you to participate in my classes.


I hope we can work together!


Thank you and I hope to meet you soon!
