Meet Our Guest Teachers!

At McDonald International School, we welcome guest teachers from Japan and many Spanish-speaking countries to work alongside our immersion teachers in grades 2-5 to enrich the language and cultural experience in the classroom.

This year’s guest teachers are a fabulous group of people who come from many backgrounds and countries. Please help us welcome them when you see them at school!

• Belén Natalia Ibáñez Cotari, from Spain
• Idelisa Quezada Rodriguez, from Dominican Republic
• Javiera Rubilar, from Chile
• Kaon Fujita, from Japan
• Sara Inuzuka, from Japan
• Takumi Kurihara, from Japan
• Yuka Hosokai, from Japan

Every January, we interview new teachers in training who hope to join us the following school year. Last year, the PTA committee for guest teachers and host families put together a wonderful video (below) that introduced the 2022-2023 Guest Teachers who shared their thoughts on being a guest teacher in our school.
