Do you use this expression?
I’d like to know the below sentence is natural or not.
“ He is such kind of person.”
“She’s such like a person.”
Would you tell me what did you feel those sentences??

It depends what you are trying to say.
He's that kind of person =he is the type of person
He's a kind person = he is a nice person

on the first read I thought sentences were describing person’ a character - being kind (しんせつ) and likable (感じの良い), so that’s how I would’ve said it:
① he is such a kind person
② she is such a likable person
on the second read I thought maybe the sentences just state what particular type of people they are (what class of people they belong to), so the sentences could sound like this:
① he is such kind of person ✅
② she is such type of person/ she is like that as a person

Hello Aya.
Both sentences are incorrect.
You can say: "He is such a kind person". - "Kind" is an adjective for people who are generous and friendly. "Such a..." is used to make the adjective stronger. (He is an extremely kind person).
In the second sentence we can say: "She is such a likeable person". - "Likeable" is an adjective for someone who is popular and easy to like. Again "such as" is used to make this adjective stronger.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your studies!
