Koga Sensei
Hello, I’m Koga Sensei. I was born, and raised in Fukuoka. Besides Japanese, I also teach Korean. I’ve been teaching since 2017, and it has been very challenging, but very enjoyable. Teaching gives me great fulfilment. My hobbies are learning foreign languages, and running. I’m a very slow runner, but it helps me relieve stress. I’ve been to South Korea, China, Hawaii, and New Caledonia. I went to China as an elementary school exchange student. I traveled to Hawaii for my high school trip. I haven’t decided where, but I would like to visit many different countries. I always enjoy listening to my students tell me about their home country. My favorite food is sushi, and I love green tea ice cream. Since I love to eat good food, I really enjoy visiting hot springs in winter, and trying out the different kinds of food they serve. I understand how difficult learning Japanese can be, but I believe I can make learning Japanese fun for all my students. I look forward to meeting you.
Otis
Hello, my name is Otis, and I run the "Fuji Japanese Language School Fukuoka". I began teaching English in 1998. In 2004, I opened “Otis’ English School” near Meinohama, Fukuoka. Over the years, I have taught English in Fukuoka to many children and adults of all ages. In 2017 I opened a second English school in Muromi, and a third English school in Ohashi in 2023. I also opened the "Fuji Japanese Language School Fukuoka", and the "Kim Suna Korean Language School", and a German language school under the name “Die Welt Deutschschule”. I’m usually busy with managing these different schools, so I don’t have much free time. However, whenever I’m not working, I enjoy running, driving my car, and shopping. I enjoy watching soccer, and Formula 1 on television. Below are links to my English school website, German school website, and Korean school website. When you contact the "Fuji Japanese Language School Fukuoka" I will respond to your e-mails, or phone calls, so I hope to hear from you soon.
The Kawachi Wisteria Garden
I named the "Fuji Japanese Language School Fukuoka" after the wisteria flower, called "fuji" in Japanese. Although the dripping wisteria flower is most commonly purple, they can also be found in white, pink, and yellow. Along with such flowers as cherry blossoms, and chrysanthemums, wisteria are considered a representative flower of Japan, Japanese culture, and tradition. I named the school after this flower because during the spring I enjoy the "Kawachi Wisteria Garden" ("Kawachi Fuji-en") in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka. Although access by public transportation is not convenient, it is definitely worthwhile to visit the "Kawachi Fuji-en" during your time in Fukuoka.
