Drawing on years of curriculum and teacher management know-how, PINES focuses on helping students speak and understand English in a truly practical way through situational conversation, discussion, debate and presentations. When teaching many students, individual attention can easily be neglected. To solve this problem, PINES conducts regular level tests from the moment of enrollment and provides customized education that takes each student's weaknesses and characteristics into account. PINES aims not only at English education, but also at fostering a global outlook through natural exchange with international students. PINES students live together with many Japanese students, and can experience a variety of cultures in addition to English. Studying with Japanese students is a great opportunity to understand other cultures and develop an open mind beyond learning English.
