Teaching English In Japan | Memories & Photos

The actual anniversary of my arrival in Japan was April 6th, 2020. Unfortunately, the covid-19 pandemic had just hit us and I forgot. But, better late than never.

Thank You To My Fellow ESL Instructors

As 2016 comes to an end, I say "Thank You" "ありがとうございました", "Gracias", "Merci", "고맙습니다" to my colleagues, who I also call my friends. All my excellent qualities as an ESL instructor come from all of you.

To My Students Past & Present - THANK YOU!
