Besides the diligent participation for the regular ESL classes, Satoshi has volunteered as a teaching assistant (TA) for one of the official Japanese courses for 2 semesters. He made many Canadian friends there, and he organized a Japanese conversation club himself for regular students who wanted to study Japanese more, as well as for Japanese ESL students who rarely had chances to make friends with Canadian students. He says, “It was tough, but I enjoyed it a lot. I really like to teach something.”
