Chrysalis

Adrian enters his second year with us and has made an incredible impact from the first day he walked through our door! After just here terms Adrian rose from a part-time position, to Senior Teacher and then quickly to the heady heights of ‘Head of Lower School’. Last term he undertook some amazing projects and worked closely with mothers in our community, who gave Adrian maximum support. He shows great enthusiasm for everything he does for his children. Creative and caring: Adrian is perfect for this position.

Adrian has a very patient and mellow approach and a really special ability to meet each child on their terms, listen to them and communicate in a way that they immediately Adrian employs a ‘show-and-learn’ approach to education and takes great care to break every lesson up into small and easily understandable segments; getting the children to follow his direction step by step, and touching base with them all individually as he teaches.

Adrian has been teaching children between the ages of 2 to 14 years for approximately five years now, and has a wealth of experience under his belt. Adrian graduated from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, CA, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Simon enters his third school year with Kspace and has actually been with the Butterflies for a very long time. With seven years in Japan under his belt he has a great understanding about cultural diversity and language, and enjoys living and teaching in Tokyo very much!

Simon earned a BA (hons) in Classical Studies and History. He came to Japan six years ago and has taught children and cared for children from nursery school to elementary age since then. He is proud father to little Oscar, who currently attends Kspace classes.

Simon is a native English speaker who also speaks Japanese.

Hidden Talent: Simon is also a keen photographer and has held exhibitions throughout Tokyo, as well as an exhibition of travel photography in Paris for the past two years. He is a fabulous musician and also sings with a band!!

Melody has been part of the team now for around five years and never ceases to amaze us! She is an extremely committed and skilled team member who always knows exactly what needs doing on each floor, and is there to help anyone.

Melody is highly experienced with all age groups and came to us with a wealth of experience in childcare. She possesses a Bachelor in Elementary Education, with a specialization in Pre-School Education.
