 ①私の自慢

I like to think that I can get along with almost anyone! I love trying new things and am always up for a new adventure. On a different note, I’ve never met anyone who can eat more sweets than I can!

②先生ご自身の幼少期をお聞かせください。

I was a little shy as a child but as I grew older, I worked towards becoming more outgoing and approachable which I like to believe I was able to achieve. I was also very competitive since I was a child so I worked hard in all aspects, studies, sports, hobbies, etc. I hated losing (or being bad at something) so it motivated me to do better.

③先生にとって Pit教育の魅力はどんなところでしょうか？

Compared to other schools, Pit gives more freedom to the children to express themselves which I really admire. I love the way the teachers and staff here treat the students and I’ve learned so much from everyone. 

④Pitレッスンでこだわっていること、大切にしていることは何でしょうか？

My goal is for the children to have fun while learning English. By doing this, I hope that they will grow an interest in English on their own and feel more motivated to speak English without any pressure or stress.

⑤Pitの子ども達にどんな大人になって欲しいですか？

I would love for them to grow up as caring, kind, and strong individuals. I want them to trust themselves and have the confidence to do whatever they dream of doing without having others affect their decisions on what they can or can’t do.

⑥Pit スクールで心に残ったエピソードがあれば教えてください。

There isn’t just one specific thing I can think of but more of something I see often here. It is how the teachers properly listen to the children’s needs when they are feeling upset or down and when the teachers encourage the children to use their words and stay patient while figuring out a solution to their problems. I really admire the staff at Pit for this. I can see that the children are becoming more understanding because of these practices here.

⑦（人生において）先生のこれからの目標は何ですか？

To have no regrets and live every day to the fullest.

⑧ズバリ！先生にとってヒーローは？

The loving people I have surrounding me that support me are the heroes in my life.

⑨座右の銘があればお願いします！

You have to think big to be big!
