To whom it may concern:

* I have known Mr. Tim Newfields since 1995 as a fellow language teacher in Japan. We worked together as officers of a teacher's association where I observed that he has an easygoing and friendly personality, is well-spoken, and shows respect and suppport for his colleagues. In return, he received respect and admiration from people with whom he worked.

* I have seen examples of materials he developed for his courses here and was impressed by the concern he shows for his students and the quality of what they learn. He has an energetic and creative approach to teaching which stimulates his pupils to do their best. I highly recommend him as an educator.

Respectfully,

Jill Robbins, Ph.D.
