MEET THE INSTRUCTORS
KOBAYASHI SENSEI

Since my college days, I always knew that I wanted to work in overseas doing something with language. After spending two years for teaching Japanese as an exchange teacher in Maine through JALEX Program, I realized that this is my true calling. I earned a MA in Foreign Language Teaching from Monterey Institution of International Studies and have been teaching Japanese in high school since 2003.
I am dedicated to getting to know my students and build a safe learning community at school. I believe that education should help students to experience joy of learning, be a productive and responsible member of society, and be a kind human being. I hope learning Japanese language and culture will widen one's perspectives and open doors for the next adventures.
