Executive Staff

Akihiro Morimoto
I was born in Japan and moved to Canada in September of 2002. I have studied English at Northern Lights College in Fort St. John, BC 13 years ago, and I now came back to my second country here in Canada. Before joining Global Partners, I spent 10 years working in Japan for a company that provides English language programs and cultural exchange programs for Japanese students. I strongly believe that learning different language and its culture are highly recommended educational programs for everybody these days in the world. Our organization offers rich educational programs to Canadian, American, and international students who will be leading our world in the future. Come and join our unique programs.
