"I take care of the business part of our organization. Even though it is necessary for us to make some profit, so that our school can keep going, I try my best to help fulfill our teaching philosophy through the operation of MIL. For instance, in order for us to be responsible for the education we provide, we don't operate franchises as many schools of our scale do. We don't look at our students simply as yen signs. We believe that MIL's teachers should help the school through good teaching, not be recruiters. As a result, it has taken us 30 years to build MIL up to where we are now."

"I've lived in Japan for more than 30 years and I still find it a fascinating place to be. I love teaching, and I love interacting with the students I teach and the teachers who work at MIL. We welcome new staff who will do their best to continue developing as teachers, and who will try their best to communicate with each student, no matter who they are or what their level of English proficiency is. MIL’s curriculum provides a framework that is consistent with the practices of most informed, professional English as a Foreign Language organizations in the world. We provide lots of resources and support for our staff. We try to respect the intelligence of the teachers who strive to teach and reach our students. If you want to learn about and experience life in Japan while developing professionally as a teacher, MIL. may be the school for you."
