■ Background of Brand Unification
HAYA English Academy, an English education school that started as Ai Matsutani's private business in 2009, has trained over 400 English education instructors to date. The original method developed in Kansai, centered on pronunciation instruction, and the instructor training program established under the "pay it forward" spirit of "passing on kindness received to the next person" have spread by word of mouth, gaining support from a wide range of people, from children to adults and aspiring instructors.
This brand unification is a decision to deliver the same value to all learners, regardless of target audience or age, under the consistent educational philosophy of "fun learning, English you want to speak more."
