Gurung Ajay

Head of Administration

Gurung Ajay

Hello! I'm Ajay.
I came to Japan as an international student from Nepal 10 years ago and graduated from the Faculty of Education. I worked at a Japanese language school in Osaka supporting international students.
Drawing on that experience, at SACHI, I will support all of you as the Head of Administration. I speak Nepali, English, Hindi, and Japanese, and I'm currently studying Chinese to connect with even more students. My hobby is watching anime, and recently I've been hooked on "Solo Leveling." I also enjoy listening to podcasts!

Message

Having experienced coming to Japan as an international student myself, I understand both the anxieties and excitement of starting a new life.
At our school, we create a warm, family-like atmosphere and provide full support from before your arrival through everyday life! Please feel free to consult with me about anything. Let's enjoy school life together!
