Juhaku Okugawa
As a teacher, I firmly believe that every student has something unique and special within them. It is my job to help students discover and nurture those qualities, so they can reach their full potential. With my guidance and support, I am confident that each student can do well in school and attend the university that they have always wanted to.
Education
I attended an international school in Japan; therefore, I know what it is like studying at an international school and the application process to universities. I will ensure that students know what I wish I knew before starting high school or applying to universities. In terms of content knowledge, I have a strong background in literacy instruction and math/science.
