September 2019- Present
David is a Canadian who has lived in Japan since 2009, and has been teaching English to preschool children for nearly the duration of his stay. Due to his creative disposition and years of experience teaching, his approach to early childhood education is one that encourages early exposure to knowledge and concepts that are often overlooked or undervalued for young children. David believes that the introduction to fine arts, such as classical music, or even a rudimentary understanding of complex machines, like the steam engine, can greatly expand a child’s creative potential and he is in constant pursuit of fun and awe-inspiring topics and activities to help stimulate young minds. He is the main teacher of our graduating preschool class, and teaches STEM and other subjects for our After School programs. David is also the primary organizer and contributor for school events at First Steps.
In his free time, David engages in a wide variety of hobbies, but enjoys best the kind of activities that involve friendly competition and social engagement, such as video games or board games. He is also an avid collector and enthusiast of arcade cabinets.
