Summary:
I am 37 years old, and have been living in Japan for two years. I have been married to Akiko from Otaru for ten years, and wish to move to Otaru and work either there or Sapporo.
I am a registered Primary school teacher in my home country of New Zealand, and have also recently gained a 250-hr Diploma in Tesol.
I am able to teach any age from kindergarten to adult. For children, I bring a fun, communicative style of teaching; while for adults I bring TESOL certification and experience, as well as a wide general knowledge, which I feel is hugely important for adult TESOL education.
