The Teacher

Hello. My name is Takako Parsons.
I am originally from Japan and came to Shrewsbury in 1994.

I’ve been teaching Japanese in and around Shrewsbury since 1995.

Shrewsbury College (1995-1996, 2009-2013)

Concord College (1996-2019)

Ellesmere College (2009-2011, 2013-2015)

Before coming to Shrewsbury, I completed the 420-hour course for Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language at Human Academy in Tokyo.

I was certified as a Japanese instructor, passing the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 1993.
