Instructors

Our instructors share the love the language and culture with our students through creative and disciplined teaching via hands on activities, games, arts, crafts, and practice, etc. They have been carefully picked to work as independent contractors.

Instruction is provided by experienced educator(s) and volunteers. Our curriculum director offers us a huge library of information from recognized authorities on Japan and English instruction. Having written several books and programs, our lead instructors are experienced in writing curriculum on various subjects for our specific student demographics.  (Kanji Camp's curriculum director is currently writing a Japanese dictionary.) Our students receive information from carefully selected textbooks and well researched lessons.

Japanese Instruction

Our Kanji Camp Camp instructors are mainly native speakers of the Japanese language who have experience teaching Japanese to Japanese, Asian or non-Japanese students in the US and Japan. Several volunteer sensei also hold special certificates of teaching Japanese traditional arts, training which they share with students during special cultural events each month. American instructors have more than four years experience living and working in Japan or the same number of years teaching Japanese in Indianapolis. Several instructors bring with them more than eight years working as interpreters or cross cultural communicators for Japanese businesses.

English Instruction

Our curriculum director is seasoned in teaching ESL to students of Asian backgrounds. He has taught overseas. Our master instructor has experience in Indiana and Illinois working with students of both Asian and Hispanic backgrounds,
