From the school director

Miki Nakagawa

Miki Nakagawa

Graduate of Kyoto Foreign Language University. 8 years as school director at a large English conversation company. 2 years working at a major trading company in New York city. A master interpersonal communicater among children and adults. Moved to Matsuyama after marriage and opened the first early English education school. She is also the mother of 2 children.

Recently, the need for English education is getting higher following the rise in people working overseas, the inclusion of English in elementary school, and the proliferation of international preschools, the demand for bilingual education is growing rapidly, but unfortunately Japan’s current cumulative English level isn’t very high. However, small children’s ability to learn is limitless. For those mothers and fathers who would like their child to learn English in the same way as a native child, and believe in the promise of their child’s future, please visit us at MSP.

Chief Manager

Spent 10 years in America teaching SCUBA diving. 7 years experience teaching Japanese children. Father of one. The head of Koala and Rabbit class.

In the Koala Class, I will “plant the seeds” of English in kids under 2 years old. I will introduce them to an English environment and make them able to respond to simple English requests as well as enjoy time with their mothers. In the Rabbit Class, I hope to bring the children to the next level, to start using the English they have learned to begin expressing themselves.

Nathan Smith

3 years experience teaching Japanese children. Father of one. Head of Bilingual Monkey Class.

Within the class,we help the kids progress to a level where no Japanese is spoken in class.During the day, the kids have lots of fun playing with their friends speaking English together. Then, when the children are comfortable spending the day listening to and speaking in English only, we begin building the foundations for their reading skills. I aim to have the children speak as if they were my own children in a fun, fair, challenging and rewarding environnment.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a child who can’t read the ABCs become skilled at reading in a flash by using phonics. The ultimate aim of reading class is for children to be albe to read and enjoy Englihs books they like. What a wonderful world awaits the child who loves reading English!
