Stuart Ballantyne
Operations Manager
Hi there! It’s nice to meet you, my name is Stuart. I’m from the Gold Coast, Australia and I have lived in Aoshima, Miyazaki for over 20 years.
I have taught and worked with the kids of Miyazaki in that time, and I believe learning and fun should go hand-in-hand.
I love rugby, surfing and wing foiling and Aoshima is one of the best places in the world to live and to do these things.
So come and check it out and we can enjoy some memorable, fun experiences together.
Reiko Sasaki
Office Manager/Reservation Manager
Hello! I’m Reiko, and I live in Aoshima, Miyazaki. I am a reservation manager at A-Go Outdoors. I also support activities for children who are not confident in their English. I love traveling and have visited many places both domestically and internationally. I have experience as an English conversation teacher and as a hotel guest service manager, including extensive overseas work experience. Using this experience, I support children to have fun and enjoy activities in an English-speaking environment. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to me. Look forward to meeting you and Let’s have fun!!!
Tomoko Uemura
Marketing/PR Manager
Hi! My name is Tomoko and I’m a mother of two kids, a girl in grade 5 and a boy in grade 2. I have experience in marketing for both domestic and foreign cosmetics companies, and later started teaching English conversation, grammar, Eiken and TOEIC preparation to kids in kindergarten to university for over 13 years. I spent three years of my childhood in South Africa, where I was exposed to a wide variety of cultures, and my policy in raising children and teaching has been not only to teach English, but also to enable them to develop all kinds of values, ways of thinking and perspectives through English.
Enjoy the great nature of Aoshima and stirring and exciting experiences you will have with A-Go Outdoors!
