Hi! Nice to meet you! I’m Kerona “Kerry Sensei” Slater—an English educator, curriculum designer, and ed-tech enthusiast living in Japan. For more than 12 years, I’ve taught students from beginner to advanced levels, helping them see grammar not as a set of scary rules but as a powerful tool for communication.
I believe learning should be fun, interactive, and confidence-building. That’s why I created Get Grammarous: a playful space where students, teachers, and even busy adults can enjoy mastering English through games, bite-sized lessons, and real-world practice.
“Grammar doesn’t have to be boring—it can be the spark that unlocks confidence in speaking and writing. With the right tools and approach, every learner can succeed.”

I’ve worked with many teachers here in Japan. We planned lessons together, taught side by side, and shared ideas to help our students enjoy English more. Their kind words remind me why I love teaching and working as part of a team.
"Kerry's multicultural perspective is a huge asset, allowing her to connect with students from all backgrounds and enrich lessons with global understanding. She's truly innovative, constantly finding new ways to make learning exciting and relevant . Most importantly, she's incredibly fun, creating a positive, energetic classroom environment where students feel comfortable, engaged, and genuinely excited to learn every day!"
"Having Kerry as a co-teacher made my lessons more effective and memorable. Her expert insights and years of experience consistently helped me grow and improve my craft as an educator."
"Kerry is an innovative and dedicated educator whose vibrant and unique approach creates a welcoming and engaging learning environment for students. She values collaboration and has a natural ability to connect with both students and staff. Her leadership skills are another of her key strengths—her attention to detail and thoughtful guidance are essential to the success of any project she leads."
"Kerry’s energy is contagious, and her passion for teaching is undeniable. Both in and outside of the classroom she cares about her students and wants to see them grow. What makes her teaching so effective is the creative spin she adds to every lesson. She makes the material engaging and memorable—which is incredibly important for language learning.
She knows her students well, supports them, and encourages them to grow with confidence. It’s rare to find a teacher who brings such a perfect balance of warmth, energy, and professionalism. I can’t recommend Kerry highly enough."
