School Blog for Junior Class

Hello everyone, and welcome to Ms. Maekawa’s Junior class blog!

Since we are all new here, let me introduce myself.

My name is Kaori Maekawa. I am originally from Tokyo, Japan and currently living in Markham, Ontario.

I used to be an English teacher in Japan for three and a half years and moved to Canada in 2021. Since then, I have been teaching Japanese online to primary to high school kids. Teaching is my passion because I believe every kid has great potential to learn and think about many things. I love the moment I see my students growing day by day, physically and mentally.

I like to learn new languages; currently, I can speak English, Japanese, Korean, French (still learning), and a little bit of Chinese (practising on Duolingo!). I am willing to try more languages in the future! I also love to play board games and do escape rooms. Nothing can beat the feeling of accomplishment when you solve really difficult puzzles!

I am looking forward to seeing you all! 😊
