Teacher Eriko(School Director)

Hello, everyone. I am a school director. I am a mother of two sons. My eldest son is a high school student and my youngest son is a junior high school student. I have been teaching English to children for about 25 years. Having been involved with children and English for a long time, I think that education is diversifying rapidly. Some of our graduates go on to domestic schools, some choose to go to international schools, and some go on to local or international schools abroad. The possibilities for children are endless. Parents have infinite options. Our goal is to provide the best possible English environment for your child in their early years, when they have more time to make their own choices. How much stimulation and experience ca you give your child during their “Golden Years” ( 0-5years)? This will make a huge difference to their future. Only we adults can do that. Please let us support your child’s bright future!
