In recent years, services have expanded rapidly not only for individuals but also for corporations and educational institutions in Japan, and we are establishing a system to provide services and training systems of tutors, tailored to the need of each target. Especially in services for educational institutions, we established the first tutoring center in Kagayan de Oro City in 2016, and currently have two centers in the Philippines, to handle all-time lessons for a large number of children.
As the number of corporate customers expanding up to 2,200, we have sought to expand capacity of tutors for providing stable and flexible lessons to accommodate a larger number of participants in corporate services. In addition to the context, based on Chungdahm Philippines’s deep knowledge and track record in English education in the South Korean market, we have invested and promoted a business tie-up with the company to improve our quality of lessons.
