Hugo Pires - Health & Physical Education Teacher and Sports Coach

Physical Education Teacher / Sports Coach

Hello everyone, my name is Hugo Pires and i am a physical education teacher and a sports coach. I am currently living and working in Tokyo, Japan. I bring a very unique background into physical education that many are not as fortunate to have.

I have been very keen in every kind of sport from a very young age, providing me with numerous opportunities to enhance my knowledge of sports and physical education.

I have a true passion for being a valuable role model and teacher to young students. Physical education is an area of great debate in today's society and i am determined to put words into action and truly bring physical education the recognition it is lacking. Teachers have a great opportunity to make a significant impact on individuals' lives and it is my goal to create an environment that provides every student with the opportunity to succeed.
