Student Voices: Hiromi

The ILE: TESOL Program was truly a life-changing experience for me! The two years I spent immersed in thinking, experiencing, and learning about education from different perspectives were invaluable. The program also helped me form lasting friendships with others who also share a passion for education. Also, the teachers, who were both kind and strict, provided continuous support and guidance, helping me recognize my strengths and areas for improvement. I really appreciate all of them. The ILE: TESOL Program empowered me to discover my own educational values, which has allowed me to teach English confidently, even in the busy environment of a junior high school, without losing my ambition cultivated in the program. As an ILE: TESOL graduate, I am proud to be able to work in an actual teaching environment. I would continuously like to learn and apply the knowledge I gained to contribute to the development of English education in Japan.
