Instructors and Staff

This workshop is expected to be a treasure trove of good advice and insightful points for making learning go all the more interesting, fun, and easier for players of the game, no matter their level. Participants are encouraged to make use of what they learn at this workshop and apply the varied techniques and ideas in their own approaches to teaching so their students can become even better players. In addition, we hope that the participants will not only become teachers of the exciting game of go, but also serve as leaders who actively promote and introduce go in education in the future.
