JTAM Hall of Fame

To celebrate our 30th anniversary in 2026–2027, this page has been created to recognize current and former teachers.

We also hope this page will inspire prospective teachers interested in opportunities in Michigan, as well as reconnect former students with the teachers who supported their learning journeys.

I enjoy sharing Japanese language and culture with students and helping them discover new perspectives through language learning. I also find it rewarding to connect students with real-world opportunities to engage with Japan and Japanese-speaking communities.
