My name is Mr Andrew Russell and I'm the new English teacher working with all of the junior students and the third grade senior students. I'm from a city called Bristol, which is in the south west of England. Bristol is a vibrant city that is famous for its hot air balloon festival, which takes place every summer.
I've been teaching English for over six years and I really enjoy working in schools because I get the chance to talk to local teachers and students. Before moving to Japan I lived in Hong Kong so I really like Chinese food, especially dim sum. I've only lived in Japan for about a year so my Japanese is still very bad but I'm trying to learn. I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone better at Ueno Gakuen and I hope everyone enjoys my lessons. I'm at the school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I have my lunch in the canteen so please come and say hello!
