Growing up as the first child in my family, I was seen as the second mother of the house. I often practiced being a teacher to my siblings and even objects at home, like chairs, tables, and grass. This gave me the inspiration to become a teacher.

After high school, I wanted to be either a counselor or a teacher, which is why I studied educational psychology at university. I am bilingual, speaking both English and French, and I am currently learning the Japanese language. I can proudly say that teaching is my life’s passion. I have been teaching English to students of all ages for about eight years in Cameroon, the United Arab Emirates, and Japan.

When I came to Japan five years ago, I had a strong zeal to teach, impact lives, and learn about Japanese culture. To acquaint myself with Japanese standards, I completed a TESOL course, earning a B grade.

From my experience, learning English can be boring and tiring for non-English speakers, but in our school, it is different because we create a more relaxed and fun-filled atmosphere. We use videos, radio shows, newspapers, songs, comics, and authentic materials that integrate grammar, writing, reading, and listening skills to motivate students. As the saying goes, “Learning without playing makes Jack a dull boy.” Extracurricular activities such as sports, club activities, and occasional excursions are also incorporated into our learning process.

Above all, the child’s needs and wants are our top priorities when designing our curriculum. We do not educate students in isolation; we involve contributions from parents and also take into consideration the specific psychological state of each child. That is to say, we observe how the child interacts with their parents, themselves, and the world to understand their mental development. This is probably what makes us the best school you can ever think of sending your child.
