Our instructors and helpers love children. They are not only the language-teaching professionals but they are the kids' specialists as well. This is the list of those who have been devoting themselves to teaching English to children at Bilingual Kids English School:
MASSEY MIYAZAWA (CHIEF INSTRUCTOR)

NAMI SHIBATA (CO-INSTRUCTOR)
She is a "returnee" from the U.S. She lived in California for 17 years. She speaks excellent native-speaker-level English. She has gained almost full-mark in TOEIC.
When I was three years old, I went to the United States due to my father's business. When I was twenty, I had a chance to fly back to Japan for three months. To my and everybody's surprise, I met my husband then and ended up staying here a lot longer than originally planned. I find myself very lucky to have found work where I can use my experience in both countries. All my students are wonderful. So, I am fortunate enough to learn the joys of teaching. I still have much to learn, but I'm going to try my best.
（私は、３才のころ父親の仕事でアメリカに渡りました。２０才のときに３ヶ月間だけ日本にもどるチャンスがあり、そのとき偶然に今の主人と出会い、今に至っています。アメリカでの経験を生かせる仕事が見つかり、大変幸せだと思っています。素晴らしい生徒さんに恵まれ、教える喜びを覚えました。まだまだ未熟ですが精一杯がんばりますのでよろしくお願いします）
RINA SUGAWARA (ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR)
She has majored in English literature at Senzoku-Gakuen Junior College. She had lived in Canada for over two years.
Hi ! I'm Rina. I was in Canada's small town called Banff. It is a beautiful town surrounded by mountains and lakes. Squirrels run around the yard and elks (big deer) walk on the streets. Less than a 10-minute-drive out of town, you can find many other animals such as rabbits, deer, goats, sheep and even bears!!
One day, I could not get into my house because there was a big elk in front of the door. So, when you visit Canada, be careful with wild animals. Let's have fun with English!
（Rinaです。私は、カナダのバンフという小さな町に２年ほど住んでいました。バンフは、森と湖に囲まれた美しい町です。リスが庭を駆け回り、エルク（大きな鹿）が道を歩いています。たった１０分郊外に車を走らせただけで、野ウサギや鹿、ヤギ、羊、熊にも出会えます。あるとき、エルクが家のドアの前にいて家の中に入れなかったこともあります。カナダに行ったら、皆さんも気をつけてね。）

FUSAKO HAYASHIDA (ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR)
She has a BA degree in foreign language. She is a childcare expert because she has raised three children of her own! She is one of the most cheerful instructors at Bilingual Kids.
When I was a college student, I had a chance to stay with an American family. Since then, I studied English hard to be a better communicater and was waiting to meet the same American family again. After 25 years, my dream came true -- I was able to visit them in the States!
If you master English, you can communicate with the people all over the world. The children at Bilingual Kids can speak English very well. I'm sure they can be excellent English speakers in the future. I'm very happy to help them learn English.!
（私は、大学生の時、アメリカでホームステイをしました。その後、再びファミリーに会って話をするためにずっと英語を勉強してきました。２５年後、その夢が実現しました。英語をマスターすれば、世界中の人たちとお話ができます。ここの生徒さんたちは、みんな英語が上手なので将来素晴らしい英語を話せるようになるでしょう。そのお手伝いができることを本当に幸せに思います）
