Welcome to Aiwin International School where we provide a structured and purposeful international learning
environment that allows our children to develop Aiwin's BASIC skills, compassion and confidence into becoming
globally responsible citizens. I am truly proud to offer our school programs and curriculum that is
continuously being developed to uphold child-centered, holistic and integrated approach in learning. It is a
great honor for me to be a part of and lead our professional and talented team of teachers and staff who
dedicate themselves in helping our young learners achieve their fullest growth and potential in every aspect
of their school life.
My professional experience gave me an opportunity to teach and train in various educational institutions
where I saw how teaching methodologies and school policies could work well together to fulfill student’s
learning needs. It also gave me a deeper understanding of how important it is to consider parents and
caregivers as active participants in their child’s education and care. Strengthening the connection between
home and school ensures a child’s success not only in school but also later on in facing bigger challenges in
life. I believe that creating a balance among education, care and governance gives our children the best and
most memorable educational experience.
We continuously strive to become a premier international school that offers excellent learning facilities and
well-balanced curriculum while maintaining a warm and supportive family atmosphere that has always
characaterized our school. I would like to see our school become even more remarkable, with professional
teachers and supportive parents on board, in inspiring our students to develop a love for learning, excellence
and service to society.
Thank you for choosing Aiwin International School. Our doors are always open to welcome you.

Bachelor of Arts in History and Philosophy; Certified Educator by South African Council of Educators;
Over 6 years of teaching experience teaching children in an International School; enjoys reading, hiking
and rock climbing.
Hello, I’m Riaan Jacobus Van der Walt. I come all the way from South Africa. I have been living in
Japan for five years and have been teaching for seven. I earned my Bachelor’s degree and postgraduate
certificate in education from the University of South Africa, and have been working to improve my
education.
I have multiple hobbies and things that occupy my time. You can find me painting or reading a book on
rainy days, while at other times I enjoy hiking and rock climbing to challenge myself physically. I
study Japanese tea ceremony and have lately spent a lot of time working on my programming skills as
well.
I hope that I can contribute to the further development of all the students in my charge; learning and
growing together with them. I hope to make my classroom a fun and educational place, where each day is
engaging for the students. At the same time I hope to ensure they meet the end of the year more enriched
and able to take on the challenges of the life that awaits them.

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 Michal and it`s great to meet you. I am originally from the Czech Republic, but since I
was 19 I have lived, worked and studied in English speaking countries such as Australia, USA, UK and
Japan. 3 years ago I moved to Japan and started working as an English teacher for young learners and I

To see the kids developing, improving their English skills and being able to express themselves in a
foreign language is a great thrill and a pleasure to watch. I strongly believe, that having a good command
