Brit Teacher Joins NIHS
By Kie WATANABE
Young Englishman Christopher Pickering, 24, joined our school on September 1st.
He graduated from Oxford University three years ago. Since leaving university, he has done many things such as starting his own web-design business with his best friend. But he gave it up because his partner moved to Europe. He also tried investment banking but quit because it was boring.
He began teaching English because he wanted to travel while he worked. Last year, he taught at an academy in South Korea and then, London before coming to Japan. He enjoys teaching because he gets to meet many different people.
He has visited nearly 40 countries. His favorite places are Costa Rica because it is sunny and relaxing and Iran because it is so different and the people are friendly.
He loves football (soccer) and dreamed of becoming a professional football player for Liverpool when he was younger. He also enjoys watching movies, listening to music and reading books.
His message to students who want to improve their English: "Try watching non-Japanese movies."
