Seiritsu International Education

Hello! My name is Laurence Dubé and I'm one of the new JET Programme ALTs (assistant language teacher) at Seiritsu Gakuen. Pleased to meet you~





I'm a translation major from the province of Québec in Canada. I've lived in Quebec City for the past seven years, but I originally come from a very small town in the countryside called La Pocatière. I also took Japanese classes in college, and I've been studying the language by myself for a few years. My first language is actually French, but I learned English at school and through personal study and practice times at home.


This is my first time in Japan and also my first long-term trip, so I'm a little nervous, but also very excited to be here. Japan is very different from Canada (especially the weather), but so far everything is going well and I hope I can adapt quickly.


I love languages and I hope I will be able to make you love them too. To me, learning a language is also about learning about a country's culture and its people and overall, a wonderful way to broaden your horizons. Let's have fun and learn English together!
