About Sammy
A pleasure to meet you. My name is Sammy Rugnao, though online I also go by the name "Sammy Sensei." Since I was young, I have always had a knack for helping people achieve their goals. As a high school student, I worked as both a dance instructor (tap and ballet, for the curious) as well as a math tutor. I had big plans to go into business management, but my parents told me I would be a teacher one day. I guess the joke was on me., because here I am. At the age of 25, I set out to take the hobby of learning Japanese a bit more seriously. To this end, I began teaching free Japanese classes at my local cafe. This was the start of Sammy Sensei, but little did I know it would alter the course of my life in a cascade of opportunities.
My Meetup group managed to gain over 900 members in my area, making it the biggest Japanese learning community in the Fullerton area.
I was asked by DuoLingo (yes, THAT DuoLingo) to host their in-person Japanese events. I gladly accepted.
I was hired by a local college who needed a Japanese teaching program. I still teach there to this very day, the program is called ILSCA.
After moving to Arizona, I was immediately hired by a local middle school to teach their Japanese after school program. During school hours, I worked as a special needs instructor.
After leaving the middle school behind, I became a teacher on Outschool. I had the highest rated Japanese courses available, maintaining a near perfect 5 star rating while having 500 unique students.

My teaching style is extremely flexible based on the abilities, needs, and age of my student. I've taught every age from 7 to 70,and everyone has different needs. I generally start by giving you a set of basics that will set the foundation of your Japanese learning, then personalize your lessons based on your learning style. For some students that will mean diving into a text book, which I have many of. For some it will mean jumping into media, such as story books. And for some it could even be testing, such as the JLPT practice tests.
