Coto’s Lesson Philosophy

We believe that when learning is fun, that in turn makes life more fun as well. The fun we provide is defined as 1) the pleasure of gaining new knowledge and experiences, 2) the pleasure of growing and accomplishing, and 3) the pleasure of connecting with others, and we hope to provide the above through our lessons.


The Teaching Team values the following philosophy:


1) We value a learning environment where you can relax and enjoy studying.


At Coto, we place great importance on an environment where you can find pleasure in learning in a relaxed state where you can maximize your learning capabilities. Our instructors always aim to provide lessons that not only help students learn, but also help them feel relaxed and enjoy learning.

You can demonstrate your full potential when you are relaxed and enjoying the challenges. At Coto, we always aim to provide lessons where students not only learn, but also feel relaxed and have fun learning.


2) We focus on providing new knowledge, experience, a sense of accomplishment, and a delight that can be felt by everybody.


Through things such as classwork, extracurricular classes, talking with classmates in the lounge, etc, students can feel a sense of accomplishment that they can express themselves, on top of having learned new skills. We are also working on building a community among the students, staff and instructors, as well as students from other classes.


3) Understanding and supporting the diverse goals and environments of different learners.


There are various kinds of students at Coto, including those who are residents, short term visitors, and people who are planning on living in Japan. Therefore, their learning goals and daily lives vary widely. Our instructors strive to create lessons that are tailored to each learner’s goals and living environment. Our mission is to help each student realize and achieve their dreams.
