My name is Tsubasa Saito. I come from Tokyo, Japan, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Engineering at Hosei University as well as a Master’s degree in Education at Waseda University. My master’s research focussed on the mathematics education of immigrant children in Japanese schools. I worked as an IT engineer in Tokyo for approximately seven years before returning to graduate study. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy, in the Faculty of Education at UBC. My research will explore immigrant families’ expectations as they relate to mathematics education in Canadian schools.
