Gavin Elshaw
English Language Teacher
I studied Computer Systems Administration at Auckland University of Technology before heading over to the UK and Europe to work and travel, where I became interested in teaching English. When I returned to New Zealand, I acquired my TESOL qualification before heading back to Europe where I taught General English and IELTS at Universities, High Schools, and private schools. I settled in Italy, living there for 10 years and becoming fluent in Italian. I have only been in Japan a short time and I’m looking forward to seeing more of the country and meeting new people.
