Hello!

It's great to meet you all. I'm the new teacher here at English For You Matsumoto. Let me tell you a bit about myself!

My name is Matthew but you can call me Matt. I'm 32 years old, and I come from Bradford, England. I taught English in Seoul, South Korea for 7 years, and I have recently completed my Cambridge teaching qualification. I've visited Japan three times in the past, and it has always been a dream of mine to teach here. I arrived in Matsumoto last Sunday, and I'm looking forward to exploring the city when I get a chance.

My main hobbies are travelling and hiking, and I love to combine the two whenever I can. I have spent time hiking in Nepal and Spain, as well as some smaller treks in Southeast Asia. I'm excited to do some hiking around Matsumoto before it gets too cold! I love to read, mainly non-fiction, but I also like science-fiction books as well.



Everybody has been so welcoming here at EFY Matsumoto! At the moment I'm just observing classes but I'm really excited to start teaching soon. All of the students that I have met so far have been extremely friendly so I can't wait to meet the rest of you soon!

I look forward to seeing you all over the next few days. When you see me, come and say hi!

See you soon!

Matt
