Hi there! My name is Jessica. I am from Chicago, Illinois, USA. I have lived in Japan for over two years and am enjoying it thoroughly.
I have had the pleasure of watching many children develop and learn new communication skills.
My goal is to show children that communication is fun, and that when we try our best great things come from it. Children have such a wonderful ability to try their hardest at every task, while not being afraid of mistakes.
Every child is different in the ways that they learn and absorb information. Finding the best way to help with each child’s individual needs is what is so rewarding about working with children from a young age.
I hope to help the children of Aiwin to become confident in their own abilities and to grow into the globally successful people that I know they can be.

Hello, my name is Osei! I have a passion for teaching and helping young learners to unearth their hidden potentials. I believe learning by doing is one of the best ways and so I try to create an active learning environment to engage all learners. I also believe student nurture is a collective responsibility for both teachers and parents, therefore giving and getting frequent feedback from parents and colleague teachers play a major role. I look forward to working with you in nurturing our students to be responsible individuals now and in the future. Let's learn together, not only in the classroom but outside as well.

Hello everyone! My name is Zorayda. You may call me Dada. I am from the Philippines. I was a preschool teacher in the Philippines for two years and organized various school events. Being an instrument as an educator, especially to children, has always been in my heart. Beyond words, they uplift my spirit and give lots of intangible rewards that are beyond compare. It is said that learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience. It is my goal to make sure that children will have a fun learning experience here at Aiwin International School and that I give a positive contribution to their growth and development.

Hello, my name is Akoth Alice, you can call me Alice. I am originally from Uganda, in Eastern Africa. Although initially qualified to teach high school, I find more joy in teaching children. I’m delighted with the progress and growth children make acquiring cognitive, emotional, practical, and socialisation skills and express themselves in English as a second language. I’m excited to be part of the team at Aiwin International school and I hope I can positively impact the children and contribute towards nurturing confident, creative, and global minded citizens.

 Hello everyone, It's nice to meet you. My name is Will and I'm from Pennsylvania, USA. I lived in Kanto for 10 years. My first few years I lived in Yokosuka and served in the US Navy. After my service, I went to college in Tokyo to study political science and international relations. I taught part-time at many different English companies during my college career. Those jobs helped me realize I no longer wished to work in government. I returned t」o the US to study psychology to better understand a child's mind. I use a lot of Erik Erikson's psychological theories in my teaching methods. Teaching children brings me joy. My philosophy is that children are the future and it's our job to help them succeed in whatever they choose to strive for. During my life I've travelled the world and experienced their cultures. We live in a global society where English is the most spoken language for both business and travel. Helping children start learning the language gives them more opportunities in the future that they would otherwise not have. I like to make the learning experience enjoyable for students. I look forward to working with your children and helping them succeed.

With 5 years of teaching experience as an Assistant Language Teacher; Graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Architecture; certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language Teacher.

Hello, my name is Wayne. I originally moved from Ireland to Japan as part of the JET Programme in 2018, and I’ve spent the past five years working as an ALT in a high school in Shizuoka Prefecture. I have a lot of different interests in life, but so far, teaching has been the thing that has brought me the most joy, so I hope to continue teaching English in Japan for a long time to come. I studied architecture in university because I have a deep interest in creativity, design and history. In fact, creativity is something that I try to incorporate into everything I do, including my lessons. I believe that creativity is a powerful tool which can enable students to really express themselves. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, riding my BMX and playing soccer. I also try to make time to study Japanese on a regular basis, with the hope of one day become a fluent speaker. My favorite Japanese saying is ‘いい雰囲気’, because I think I have a natural gift for creating a warm and comfortable environment wherever I go. I’ve already made so many wonderful memories over the past five years, and I’m looking forward to making many more in the years to come!

Bachelor of Science in Engineering, professional Engineer in Computer Science, likes reading, hiking, camping and videogames.

Hello, my name is Samuel Goldfarb. I come from Chile, where I spent my university years volunteering on recreational and educational activities with kids in vulnerable communities. There I got to experience first hand how important and life changing it is for every child to have a safe and encouraging environment to socialize, learn, experiment and satiate their curiosity. It filled me with joy to see that I have helped a child develop new friendships and trust in themselves.
While working in Aiwin, I will strive to give an environment like that to every child. I think it is one of the most precious gifts one can make, to provide them the opportunity to develop their talents, confidence, and the necessary skills in order to successfully navigate the life ahead of them.
