It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to QUEST TOKYO and our website. Whether you are a parent looking for a consultation or a future employee looking for new opportunities, I trust you will find what you are looking for here.
We are delighted to offer professional educational services here in the city. I came to Tokyo, resolutely for two years in 2001. I fell in love with Japan, Tokyo and being an educator here almost instantly. The energy, the dedication and the opportunities had me hooked. Throughout my 19 years to date, working with wonderful colleagues, families and children, the range of needs and interests within the community has never ceased to drive and inspire me.
In recent years though I have noticed a gap, an educational gap here in Tokyo. As with other global cities, parents need another service outside of school to find educational advice and support, framed within the rigour and high standards of the British education system. Our goal at QUEST is to provide this - a reliable hub from which parents and students can find experience and vision, tailored programs and support to complement and underpin study at school.
Our programs and website will grow over the coming months and years so please check back.
And do make contact, we love to talk. I hope to meet you in person soon.
