Michelle Beaulieu
Howdy! My name is Michelle Beaulieu, or Misha for short. I came from Wyoming in America! I studied mathematics and statistics at my university, and also taught math for two years. I love snowy weather, drinking tea and coffee, watching anime, reading, and trying new things!
I grew up doing karate, eating sushi, and playing sudoku. Over the years I realized many things I liked came from Japan and wanted to learn more and experience the things only available here! This is my first time in Japan, and I’m excited to be here and work with everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about anything, I’m always happy to help! I’m just a beginner, but I’m also studying Japanese. Let’s all try our best!
Jason Zhang
Hi! My name is Jason, and I am working here at Toyooka SSH (and at Hidaka SHS) as part of the English teaching team! I was born in the heart of Toronto in June of 2001! Toronto is a very big city with lots of fun things to do, such as spending money on food and spending money on entertainment! Growing up, I played many video games. My favourite games are Pokemon Black and White! Outside of video games, I am less interesting, but I really enjoy running and doing other physical activity! I recently took an interest in rock climbing.
This is my third time in Japan! My first time coming to Japan was in February of 2020, but even before that, I was interested in learning more about Japan. I read a lot of materials and self-studied Japanese for two years in high school, then studied Japanese for four years in University. I studied Cognitive Science, Psychology, and Japanese History at the University of Toronto and graduated in June of 2023. After graduating, I came to Japan for three weeks in July of 2023, and visited many places. I even climbed Mt. Fuji!
Nowadays, I spend a lot of time walking around and exploring the places around me (while also playing Pokemon GO). I don’t have a bicycle yet, but I should probably buy one soon. I also really like music. My favourite artists are Hige Dandism, Sheena Ringo, and Zutomayo, but I listen to many other artists as well. I still play video games sometimes, but not as much as before, because I have no one to play with.
If you have any questions, please ask me anytime you see me! I am always open to getting to know everyone!
