【講師コラム】メル講師No.5

オンライン英語スクール Englishbuds 管理人 Mommy Kayo です。

 

実は昨日３月５日は

Englishbuds創立５周年の節目の日だったのです。

 

しかし記念日全般に無頓着な私・・・

メルに言われるまでまったく気付いておらず(^^;

この性分困ったものです。。。

 

記念日全般に淡白なんです・・・

先日も３年生最後の授業の日に

「先生、卒業式来てね♪」

と言われた際に

「何しに？！非常勤なのに？」

と反射的に言ってしまったくらい

セレモニー的なものを重視していないダメ人間です。

 

卒業式は教え子の晴れの門出を祝うものだと生徒に教えてもらい

今年の卒業式もちゃんと出席してきましたよ(^^;

 

まぁ、私のそんなダメストーリーはさておき

メルがコラムでこの５年間を振り返ってくれています。

 

どうぞお読みください♬

“Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured,
as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.”

Happy Friday, everyone!!! I hope that you are all happy, healthy and staying positive despite the threats
that we are facing from the spreading of corona virus.
It has been a while since I last posted an entry on Englishbuds page.
My mind is full of ideas about the things that I would love to share with you.

I am sure that many of you do not know about the day Englishbuds first offered its service online.
March 5, 2015, Mommy Kayo and I officially opened Englishbuds to Japanese children who were interested in learning English online.
And yesterday, March 5, 2020, Englishbuds marked its 5th year in service! (Hooray!)
Time indeed flies so fast when we are having fun… I cannot believe that it has been 5 years already since we
gathered all our courage and began our adventure in the world of online English learning service.
We were only equipped then with our dreams, determination and hearts that were full of hope and sincerity
to give quality online English lessons as we did not have a lot of means to promote our English school.
It was not easy at first… I can still clearly remember how we struggled to gather more students, how Mommy Kayo worked hard and diligently to promote Englishbuds online… The first few months were really hard, but we kept striving against all the negativities and difficulties. And nothing really is sooooo difficult and impossible when you love what you are doing and when you put your heart into it.

Mommy Kayo and I love to make plans and dream together everytime we are talking online.
We are sometimes like little kids weaving dreams and making a lot of plans for the future together.
And I am so happy that those dreams are plans are coming true one by one…
YOU ARE ALL PART OF MAKING THEM COME TRUE… There can never be enough words to express how
thankful we are to you all, Mommies and Daddies for letting us be a part of your children’s wonderful English learning journey.
Thank you so much for all the trust and understanding, Mommies and Daddies…
Thank you for always supporting Englishbuds’ programs.
We will continue doing our best to make your children’s English learning fun, exciting and effective…

I can say that I truly am so blessed. I have a loving family, a best friend and soulmate like Mommy Kayo,
the bestest and most loving students in the world, the coolest moms and dads of my students,
I also found some really good friends through Englishbuds, and most of all,
I found the thing that I really love to do, TEACHING…
I hope that you enjoyed reading this entry. And I am excited to share with you the story behind Englishbuds’ name in my next blog post.
Thank you so very much again and have a lovely weekend ahead! Cheers to more years of amazing and joyful English learning adventure to us!

確か３月５日は公式にメルのレッスンの提供が開始された日ですね。
（記憶が虚ろ・・・）

Englishbudsのブログ自体は前年の１０月末から始め、

２０１５年２月くらいからテスト運用という形で

トライアルレッスンを提供していたように思います。

 

今では予約更新すると

枠が瞬く間にすべて埋まってしまうメル講師ですが

あの当時は１日３、４件でしたね～。

 

メルもさぞかし不安だったろうと思います。

 

ただ不思議とあの当時の私たちは

【悲観】という言葉を知らないが如き能天気ぶりで。

 

「絶対たくさんの生徒さんが集まってくれる」

と変に信じていたところがありますね。

 

「根拠のない自信」があったのです。

 

あれから５年(綾小路きみまろ風に)

Englishbudsも大きく変わりました！！！

 

あの日メルと２人で始めたEnglishbudsは

文字通り双葉の新芽でしたが、

今ではたくさんの会員さん、たくさんの講師、と

葉が多い茂った緑豊かなたくさんの実を付ける大きな木となりました♪

 

これからも私たちは

Englishbudsを大切に大切に

より豊かなものになるように

育てていきたいと思います。

 

是非今後ともEnglishbudsをどうぞよろしくお願いいたします(^^)
