Hi! Nice to meet you.
I’m Melissa from Alberta, Canada but I was actually born in Finland. I graduated with a Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta in 2013, and I have been enjoying my life in Japan since 2014.
I have been teaching for 7 years in Japan, and before coming to FUTURE Jidoen I have been a teacher at an international school and some Eikaiwas. I love teaching children very much, and I aim to create fun and engaging lessons where all of my students can have fun and learn English.
I look forward to seeing everyone’s growth here at FUTURE Tabata.

Hello everyone! My name is Adam and I am from the United Kingdom. I graduated from the University of Manchester doing Japanese Studies, moved to Japan in July 2021, and taught in various Junior High Schools and an Elementary school in Saitama. At the end of March 2023, I took on the opportunity to start teaching at Future Tabata and moved to Tokyo.
I enjoy each day spent teaching and interacting with the kids, seeing them overcome new obstacles, and enjoying the learning experience. I aim to provide a fun learning environment where the students can look forward to each new class and be proud of their daily achievements.

I have traveled to Australia and America to study English. This helped me develop skills to teach children. Since then I have been teaching at preschool, elementary school as well as teaching private lessons. I bring a ten year experiences with me which will help me to bring the best out of develop of the FUTURE kids.
I would like to help the FUTURE kids to develop into a move multi culgdf children. I’m looking forward to working and spending time with the children attending the FUTURE-JIDOUEN Tabata.

I love working with the FUTURE kids to see their growth and I enjoy spending time together with them. It is my hope that all the children are looking forward to taking lessons and coming to school every day. I hope that the children are going to have a global perspective through various experiences. Therefore, I’d like to be considerate toward the children and take care of them.

Hello. I’m Kumiko. I was born and raised in Yokohama.

I would like to help our kids to enjoy their time at FUTURE Tabata.

I went to the Philippines and Australia to study English and worked in a resort hotel to have new experiences and improve English skills.
After studying abroad,I worked in the other preschool for 2years and studied about nursing.

In order to do that,I try to take care of the kids gently and make the best environment where they can focus learning English and enjoy their life at future Tabata.

Hello! I’m Yui from Fukui prefecture.
When I was a college student, I studied abroad in Australia, Malaysia and the United States. There, I got inspired with brand new cultures and I felt how fun communicating with people in English is.
As a member of FUTURE teachers, I would like to give kids a lot of joy and confidence by expressing their feelings in English through inspiring experiences.
