【講師コラム】ハーヴィー講師 No.1～Hi, I’m Harvey!～

Hi, I’m Harvey Ayuban. I’m your newly onboarded Englishbuds teacher who believes that learning is fun in all aspects, but with a touch of creativity and passion, a unique learning experience shall be unlocked.

I’m a Filipino by blood, born and raised in Cebu, Philippines, but for some reasons, I’ve sometimes dreamt of being born instead in another country, and Japan is one of them.
The man is simple, fun, friendly, approachable, easygoing and loves gaming.
I come from a poor family. One that doesn’t have enough exposure to the opportunities out there and is deprived of the common cultural benefits and some basic materials before. But I was so lucky to have amazing parents, who literally worked hard to provide us with a proper education and other necessities and supported us all the way through. And that is something I will forever be grateful for.
Currently, I’m a graduating university student specializing in management accounting. Despite the workload of being a college student, I effectively managed my time to secure some part-time jobs online, such as becoming an English tutor/teacher for a total of two years.

The idea of learning has fascinated me ever since I was a child, for I used to read different kinds of books like science, English stories, etc. The attitude remained in me, and my interest in teaching grew over time as I taught elementary school students in mathematics during my high school years.
Until then, teaching and tutoring others have fascinated me. So long as it is within the scope of my knowledge and capabilities, I am more than willing to help. Seeing the people I helped with a trace of their genuine smiles and authenticity offers a different sense of fulfillment.

That is why, until now, I feel so happy and accomplished whenever I see my students feel satisfied and enjoyed my teaching style, even at a short period of time. And this I believe, is something that all teachers have in common, to see their students succeed on their future undertakings.

Now, I can’t wait to be a part of your journey learning the English language and share my knowledge and skills with you.
You need not to have a teacher to learn English, sometimes a good and reliable brother or friend will definitely do.

Remember that we will not simply learn English in a traditional way, but in a more exciting and unique method by integrating some of your most favorite online games like Pokémon, Minecraft, Fortnite, and many more.
So, let’s have some fun as we learn!
