Here is a brief bio of our Teachers: ALTs module writer James Winovich (creator of ALT insider):

After graduating from the University of Maryland with a BA in Business Management, James taught for 6 years as an ALT with students ranging from as young as 5 to as old as 18. After making the transition to freelance translator, he began ALTInsider.com and the ALTInsider Podcast; both dedicated to helping people working in Japan be as successful as they can possibly be while they are in the country. James' thinks fun is something too many teacher's leave out of their lesson plans, so he's on a quest to bring it back.
