Jess Eng was the intern of the week in Nagoya! She is so sweet, humble, and patient with her students. All of the students said they loved her presentation because it was highly accessible and interesting. Thanks for sharing your dream of making learning fun through computer science and video games. You’re a real rockstar, Jess!
This week’s intern of the week in our Okinawa venue is Martha! “Even though students struggle in the beginning and doubt themselves, they always find a way to make themselves proud!” Martha rocked this week at Okinawa! Whether it was leading a classroom game or engaging her students about their passions, Martha always had a smile on her face!
The English Camp interns have had a great time in Mie, including a weekend trip down to Ise Jingu! #coo2018 #伊勢神宮 #伊勢うどん
Nagano’s featured interns of the week are Anastasia Neuman, an MIT Chemical Engineering grad, and Brooke Chapin Robbins, a Columbia University American Studies grad! Anna and Brooke were a joy to co-teach with and spent this week connecting with and engaging our students through card games, impromptu Spanish, Chinese and French lessons, and fascinating discussions on topics ranging from gender equality to artificial intelligence — not to mention field trips to Zenkoji Temple and the ice cream shop. “I was most surprised by the students’ wide-ranging knowledge of world politics and global issues, and their ability to express their opinions in a language that wasn’t their first,” said Anna. “I was pleasantly surprised by the opportunity to talk to our students in a combination of English, French and Chinese — I didn’t expect them to be so talented at so many languages... just like I didn’t expect to become best friends with my co-teachers so quickly!” Brooke shared. Anna and Brooke were all smiles every day, even when navigating housing confusion through google translate, getting lost on spontaneous hikes, or tackling tricky classroom discussions. There’s truly nagaNO ONE like these two! 😍⛰👯‍♀️ #coo18 #nagaNOplacelikeit #nagaNOwayweeverstopmakingthispun
Good afternoon, friends! The Matsumoto venue has chosen its “Intern of the Week” or in this case “Interns.” “Both Anju and Eddie have been a blast to work with this past week. They are extremely creative, kind, and patient. At first, I thought maybe we wont have an intern of the week for this venue since there are only three people. One of them being me, a team leader. But after a whole five days of working with these wonderful interns there was no way we couldn’t celebrate both of them for all of their hard work. I could not be more grateful to have had the chance to work with such amazing people, who have made this my favorite week of camp, thus far. So please join me in celebrating the both of them for all that they do!” -Vanessa
This week’s intern of the week is Zoe Mahony! Zoe spent the week teaching students in Kurashiki, Okayama. When asked about her favorite moments from this week Zoe said, “ I loved having a homestay and getting a better sense of Japanese culture. Teaching this week was really fun, whether we were playing silly games or discussing serious issues like poverty and global warming.” Zoe was nominated because of her outstanding teaching abilities and her efforts to go above and beyond to accomodate her student’s learning styles. #coo18
This week’s Intern of the Week in Sapporo Zoe Chu from Imperial College London who studies Mechanical Engineering! “The kids were 12/10 good times,” Zoe says. “I love Sapporo. I love my students. We invented a game called Gatta Gatta, which means Rumble Rumble, where we just violently shake the table. And honestly it rumbled the class.”
Enjoy these shots of some of our traveling interns hard at work (and play) as they taught in venues like Niigata, Sapporo, Fukui and Asahikawa during week 2. Have a great week 3, everybody! #coo18
Our Utsunomiya group had a wonderful day one of English Camp! They are going to celebrate by eating gyoza, or dumplings, the most popular Japanese cuisine the city is well known for!
This week’s Global English Camp 2018 “featured intern of the week” at our Asahikawa, Hokkaido venue is Matt Clube! Matt is a UCL graduate with a degree in Human Sciences. “I enjoyed this week because I got to know every student in the classroom; not just my own group,” Matt says. “I was able to witness how much every student improves in one day let alone one week. Wow, that was poetry! I should’ve said a haiku instead. Here, let me try again: Intern of the week // Chocolate mushrooms yummy // Asahikawa // The end.” This week, Matt shined in the Asahikawa classroom with his group of students: Team Mushroom. From inventing new games to teaching challenging societal issues such as gender disparities and patriarchal standards, he always kept a bright smile and made the students laugh!

Thank you Summer Splash Career Forum for hosting Come On Out! We were still able to soak up the sun during the typhoon! #SSCF
This week’s “intern of the week” from our Kansai region is Selene Spatz, a recent Duke graduate in Mechanical Engineering. Over the past week, she helped lead some of the group activities at our Osaka site and demonstrated a passion for teaching English. When asked about the highlight of her week she responded, “When I encouraged my students to ask questions, they did that and continued for the rest of the week. Seeing how much they improved was really cool!” Day five of every week is always an emotional day during the closing ceremony, as students say their final good-byes to their interns. We are really proud of all our interns for giving our students an unforgettable experience at week one of English Camp! #coo18
This week’s Global English Camp 2018 “featured intern of the week” at our Shinjuku venue is Peyton DeLaughder! Peyton is a UC Berkeley graduate with a degree in English. Peyton says that his favorite thing about his students is how brave they are when speaking English — and that the biggest surprise of English Camp was how quickly the students opened up with him. Peyton stood out this week for his positive disposition and strong inclination to help — he took the initiative to stay after class and help pick up everyone in the classroom’s trash. Huge thank you to Peyton for going above and beyond, and to every single one of our other amazing interns for making week 1 of English Camp such a success! Stay tuned for more profiles of Come On Out’s awesome interns working at English Camp venues across Japan! #coo18
