Born...February 1984
Formative years spent...London, watching
sports and playing cricket with friends.
Mind honed at...Whitgift School (A levels
in Maths, Biology and Japanese) and Oxford University (BA Hons in Japanese).
First Students...August 2006, teaching
English to Japanese elementary school students.
Since that has taught...English for two
years at a junior high school in Japan to students up to age 15. Many Japanese
students do not see the relevance of speaking English so it was a great
challenge trying to motivate them with exciting activities. His highlight was
coaching two students to first place in the annual English speaking contest.
He's also...worked as a translator, writing
English subtitles for a Japanese video game and has climbed Mt. Fuji three
times, seeing the beautiful sunrise on each occasion.
What else...Saf follows almost any sport
involving a ball, be it spherical or oval in shape. Particularly fond of
football and cricket, he is very pleased that the England cricket team won the
Ashes in 2009 and thinks England can win the football World Cup in 2010.
