I studied History at University with a minor in Japanese studies. It was something I didn't know a lot about and I had always wanted to learn more about Eastern history. I spent a semester abroad in Japan where I met my future wife. Eventually I would move to Japan and teach English there for six years.I teach 8th grade History at Achievement First Mayoral Academy in Providence Rhode Island. I have been living in Massachusetts for about two years and original come from Chicago.
In my free time I like to play board games, tabletop games and video games. At my school I have been running a board games club.
Are you fluent in Japanese? Did you have a good experience teaching in Japan?
ReplyDeleteNot as much as I'd like to be! Still learning, but I had a lot of fun teaching. It was at an afterschool program with a lot of movement focused games which helped me learn a lot.
