Jonathan Waltho, founder of Hear See Do

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Jonathan.

I’m a Canadian educator, author, performer, and the founder of Hear See Do. After more than 16 years in Japan and over a decade building HSD, I’ve seen that confidence is what turns knowledge into communication.

My background in early childhood education and performance shapes a method where learners move, speak, create, and find their own voice.
