My name is John. I arrived in Japan 5 months ago from Nottingham, England. Once I arrived I did some traveling before starting with English Garden. I’ve been to Nagoya, Hokkaido and Tokyo! I like everything Japanese. My favorite things I’ve done in Japan have been going to karaoke, visiting castles, basking in the natural beauty of Hokkaido and eating lots of butadon.

My hobbies are learning guitar, studying Japanese, cycling and traveling

I feel that one of the most important qualities a teacher can have is the passion to help people. Every day is different. There are always new challenges.

I always love to tell people about the time when I won a pizza eating contest! I had to eat over 4 pizzas. Come to English Garden, and I’ll tell you the rest of the story.

Hello! My name is Michael, I am from Vancouver, Canada and I have been living in Osaka for 1.5 months.
Living in a big city is my favorite part of Japan so far.
Canadian cities are much more spaced out and aren`t as easy to get around in.
The trains here are amazing! At home it`s almost impossible to get around without a car.
I enjoy skiing and mountain hiking. I like these sports because they always demand that you push yourself to your limit and beyond. As you get better, you can also return to the easier areas and feel a sense of accomplishment.
I am also very adventurous when it comes to food, I love trying new foods from other cultures.
As a teacher, I enjoy seeing a student`s confidence and vocabulary growing over a period of time.
I hope you enjoyed reading this short biography about me, and if you have any questions or would like to say "Hello!", please don't hesitate to come to English Garden!

My name is Monika and I am from Adelaide, Australia I come to Japan about 10 months ago to experience the Japanese culture and lifestyle.
I like the people here, they are very patient.
I also think the language is interesting and the culture is unique. I am also interested in Japanese history!
As a teacher I like when I see people learn new things because of me, I find it very rewarding! It gives me a lot of energy.
I think that the most important quality in a teacher is patience. You should never give up and you always should encourage your students. Don`t forget to smile!
My hobby is watching Japanese drama and listening to Japanese music. I love Arashi!!!
I came to Japan with a dream to see Arashi in concert. My dream came true!!!
So please come to English Garden and make your dreams come true!
