Caroline Pover graduated from the UK's University of Exeter as a qualified primary school teacher, with a First Class Honours degree and a Dean's Commendation. After teaching at the same school she had attended as a child, a desire for adventure led her to Tokyo in 1996 where she was soon hired by a Japanese international school. Teaching by day, Caroline launched her own magazine and interviewed 200 foreign women as she wrote her first book, Being A Broad in Japan: Everything a Western woman needs to survive and thrive. The first edition of the Guide to International Schools in Japan was her second book, followed by the first in the Ask Caroline series for Japanese women, and a guide to love and romance for Japanese men. She enjoys sharing her knowledge of independent publishing by consulting with individuals, community groups, and corporations to help them to put their own words in print. Since the 2011 earthquake, Caroline has been dividing her time between the UK and Japan, giving talks to schools and community groups in both countries, and raising funds for various projects she organizes for fishing communities on a remote peninsula in the tsunami-affected area. She has been recognized for her many contributions to the foreign women's community in Japan, was awarded the inaugural British Business Award for Best Entrepreneur by the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan, and received an Outstanding Service Award to commemorate the International Women's Day centenary. She has given hundreds of speeches in Japan and the UK, and her TED Talk earned her a nomination for the inaugural Body Confidence Awards in the UK. Drawing on her background in education and interest in child development, this updated edition of Caroline's Guide to International Schools in Japan remains the most comprehensive guide to international schools throughout Japan.
