New Teacher, Brent Regan
Hello everyone. My name is Brent Regan. I am from Calgary, Canada. I came to Japan in 1997 on a working holiday visa to further my karate training. To make a long story short, I became an English teacher and was able to continue practicing karate here in Japan. I got married along the way and now we have a son.
As an English teacher, I have taught all ages of students - from babies to seniors. And I have taught all kinds of levels, including returnee classes in junior and senior high. I try to enjoy every moment of every day so I prefer to run bright, energetic classes. Many of my students have developed a liking for English and an open attitude.
I have made many wonderful friends here. One of them was a fellow Canadian who also practices karate. In fact, he was teaching karate at a high school called Seiritsu. His name is Richard Mosdell and through him I met another friend, Peter, a few years later. Thanks to them, I was introduced to Seiritsu Gakuen and now I find myself being a member of the Seiritsu family.
I am really excited about working here and getting involved with all of the wonderful staff, students, and visitors. Wish me luck!
