Enjoyable learning environment

Understanding Learners' difficulties
Hiro is a language learner as well as a language instructor. He is always passionate about learning languages. He understands the difficulties that language learners may face at different levels, and he will make sure that they can overcome them through his pertinent advice. His experience of learning languages (e.g. English, French, and some other languages) will be maximised in his teaching so that learners can get reassured. |

Always open to new technology and new learning methods
Kotobaax is always aware of the development of technology and that of learning/teaching methods. Hiro will do his best to incorporate a variety of technological methods into his teaching. |

Flexibility in each lessonAlthough each course has a syllabus set before the beginning of its course, the contents of each course can vary according to learners' needs. Kotobaax will be happy to alter the original syllabi in order to cater what customers want.
Intercultural communication
Cultural differences can create misunderstanding in our communication. The courses offered by Kotobaax will attach great importance to the relation between cultural understanding and communication. As a Japanese who spent more than 5 years in England surrounded by lots of different nationalities and also as an EFL teacher who taught various European students in England, Hiro will be ready for giving you advice on intercultural communication. |

Combination of different teaching approaches
Kotobaax cherishes learners' creativity and ingenuity. Therefore, lessons will be taught mainly in an inductive way with which learners can think and discover what is going to be taught through learner-centred activities. However, the methods and approaches will be changed depending on the number of learners and the contents of lessons flexibly so that learners can make the most of their classes.
