Joined Withas Co., Ltd. in 1998. Worked in the correspondence high school division, working as a classroom supervisor and area
supervisor. In 2008, he was involved in the opening of Daiichi Gakuin High School, a correspondence high school established by a
corporation, and became the director in 2019. In 2021, he moved to the cram school department and became the person in charge of the individual optimization instruction department, which he currently holds. His motto is “Good luck comes to those who laugh.”
I have been involved in individual optimization guidance, and even though it is group guidance, I am working hard every day with a sense of excitement and mission to be able to provide guidance that is tailored to each individual. I hope that what I will talk about on the day, including my observations and learnings, will be of some use to you.

Born in Shizuoka Prefecture. After graduating from Nara Women’s University, she joined Withas Co., Ltd. and was assigned to the First Seminar, which mainly teaches elementary and junior high school students. The classroom where I worked as a classroom supervisor seven years ago changed from simultaneous instruction to individualized instruction for the first time at the first seminar. Since then, he has been in charge of providing individual optimization guidance at the First Seminar on a daily basis.
By completing small goals that they had set for themselves one by one, students gained confidence and were accepted into the schools of their choice. After reading the explanation thoroughly, students are now able to make decisions and take action on their own to solve problems by saying, “I don’t understand this, so please help me.” We are moved by the growth of so many students, and all the teachers are working together to help them accelerate their growth even further. On the day of the event, we will talk about the challenges faced during the transition from simultaneous instruction and the current situation.
