I have worked with Shane Marsan for five years now. He is a highly skilled teacher and has a strong understanding of how literacy and inquiry can work together to engage students. Shane is a very empathetic individual and always goes the extra mile to support his students' social and emotional needs. He adds a great deal of positive energy to the school culture and is well-liked by parents and staff. He is always willing to support school initiatives. He is very reflective and always tries to embody the attributes of international mindedness and leads by example. Shane is a self-starter and very low maintenance and I would hire him back in a second should I have the chance.

Shane has been an exemplary team member throughout his tenure at OYIS. From his beginnings in the EAL department, to the last few years as the Grade 2 homeroom teacher, and his shepherding through of our WASC report and visit, Shane has proven himself to be a dedicated, driven, and dependable individual. Having worked personally with Shane in the both the EAL department and as his Grade 2 language-support teacher, I can say definitively that Shane would be a valuable addition to any educational team. He brings the enthusiasm, flexibility, and reliability that our school is always looking for in educators.
Steven DuexOsaka YMCA International School Vice Principal
Shane is a very reliable, caring person who regularly goes the extra mile for his students and colleagues. He has had such a positive impact on our school culture because he works hard in every aspect of his job and maintains great relationships with the people around him. Shane’s good nature and strong organisational skills make him an effective and ideal leader, as evidenced by the way he fulfilled his role as a WASC Coordinator for our school. In the classroom, Shane creates an engaging learning environment that is supportive of the learners he works with. I genuinely admire Shane for the work he does and the values he has as both a colleague and a friend I hold Shane in the highest regard and would love to work with him again one day.

Shane is a supremely dedicated person who commits himself to every challenge he faces. Shane has been a supportive and reliable colleague throughout the time I have worked with him. I have seen him bring engaging lessons and structure to the young people he has taught, and I have heard parents praise the difference he has made for their children. He would without a doubt be a benefit to any institution that hires him.

It has been a pleasure working with Shane. I highly recommend him for any position. He is well organized, dependable, trustworthy and always has a positive attitude.
He works well in a team environment and also independently. We have assigned Shane to some of our fussiest clients but have always received
positive feedback since he works in a professional manner and is able to help clients
achieve their goals and beyond. I would rehire Shane in a heartbeat.
