Why did you choose to teach at the Northwest School? It was mainly because I had an opportunity to teach Humanities, besides Japanese. In addition, the school size was small enough for me and I had been teaching in public school for such a long time that I wanted to some change.

What would you advise the international students who are currently at NWS, or students who are coming? THINK RATHER THAN MEMORIZE! I would say go and read a lot of novels and essays in either English or your own language, so that it prepares you with a habit of reading. By the way, don’t forget to practice writing both academic essays and creative papers in either English or your own language because it will become useful once you get here.
