I'm Ms. Siyyon, the manager at the Gakugei school. I have been working at Wings for almost 2 years now.
I first joined because I was impressed about the private reading time. At Gakugei, we started with a few students but now we have over 100 students and many more contacting me to join. I am excited that it seems the company is moving to a more open culture where we can talk with each other freely. My biggest accomplishment at Wings is gaining the trust of the parents and co-workers."

I'm Milena, a part-time teacher usually at the Ikejiri school and have been working here for a little over a year and half now. I first joined because I live in the neighborhood and have often passed by Wings at Gakugei. I was impressed by the cozy atmosphere and happy faces of children and teachers. I knew this is the place I want to work. I love the philosophy of Wings to create a family-like , comfortable and fun atmosphere for teachers and students.The most unique thing here is the international, friendly, and comfortable environment and of course the team of great teachers, supervisors and managers providing it.

I'm Fairuz, a part-time teacher usually at the Gakugei school and have been working here for a little over a year now. I first joined because I was interested in the design of the school, and I love the place. I identify with how Wings tries to create a warm and comfortable environment, helping kids be close and friendly with the teachers as well as giving students the confidence to speak English at all times. My most memorable experience here was when I was selected for all three categories of the part-timer award. One thing I've noticed about the management is how caring and professional the manager is as well as how efficient the supervisors are which helps operations run smoothly.

I'm Karina, a supervisor at the Ikejiri school and have been working here for almost a year-and-a-half now. I first joined because I like kids, so I tried to find some work where I can be with them. When I started it was still the middle of the corona-lockdown. We were super busy, short of staff and everyone was worried about getting sick. Luckily, things are slowly getting back to normal, so the work environment is much better. The most unique part of working here is watching the children grow up and seeing them start to use English to communicate, improving day by day through hard work. My biggest accomplishment here has been being appreciated by superiors and co-workers.

I'm Janice, the assistant supervisor at Gakugei. I've been at Wings for 4 months now, drawn by the small teacher to student ratio and the flexible curriculum. It seemed unique compared to the traditional classroom image. The Wings team's diveristy is very unique and valuable as a part of the children's education, this gives students exposure to other cultures and values. My most memorable moment so far is the first time a student gave me a drawing. I was really surprised. I hung it on my fridge that night, took a picture, and showed him the next day.

I'm Maree, an assistant supervisor at the Ikejiri school and have been working here for a little over a eight months now. I first came to Wings because I had graduated college and the thought of working in Japan was always just a “imagine if...” until I decided to apply. I had worked with kids in my last semester as part of an internship and had so much fun that the thought of continuing to work with kids and remembering that idea of working in Japan... all of the sudden I’m here now writing a newsletter. The aspect of Wings that I most indentify with is encouraging students to speak what is on their minds and if they don’t understand something, being able to not be afraid to ask why. The most unique part about working here is seeing coworkers coming from all walks of life come together and connect over the students!
