Thabo Mwangi
Physical Education Teacher at American School of Tokyo
I never imagined myself teaching in Japan, but three years later, I can say it was one of the best decisions of my life. Coming from Kenya with a background in athletics, I bring a unique perspective to my PE classes. The students are respectful, the facilities are excellent, and the professional culture is inspiring. Learning Japanese has been challenging but rewarding as I integrate into local life.
