About GTE
At Green Tree English, we believe that the best learning environment is one where children can explore, play, and naturally communicate. Together with our experienced teachers, we provide a safe and fun space where children can freely use English. Through engaging lessons filled with activities like crafts, experiments, games, and hands-on tasks, as well as support tailored to each child’s feelings and needs, we help children build confidence and acquire language skills that will benefit them for a lifetime.
Why Choose Us
Unique Crafts
Every class includes craft time! Our unique crafts provide children with new experiences, where children can naturally pick up English expressions and words. Children will easily remember new words when it’s linked to a new experience. They practice asking for items, saying “Please” and “Thank you,” and using adjectives like “It’s soft!” They also learn to express their likes and dislikes, such as “It was fun!” or “I don’t like slimy!” We love introducing a variety of materials and techniques to give children a wide range of experiences to inspire creativity and confidence in trying new things.
Culture and Events
We strive to expose children to cultures from around the world through music, celebrations, and special events. For example, our Halloween and Christmas parties are more than just "English lessons"—they are immersive experiences that bring the magic of these holidays to life. By incorporating cultural traditions, songs, and hands-on activities, we create memorable moments that help children connect with language in a fun and meaningful way, leaving them with lasting memories they can carry throughout their lives.
A New Style
We provide an environment similar to an international school, where English is learned naturally as a daily communication tool rather than just a subject. However, like an after-school English program, we offer a variety of classes that can be attended from just once a week. This ensures that families with any schedule can experience the atmosphere and environment of an international school.
Our teachers do more than just teach English in front of the class. Instead, they actively guide the lessons while participating alongside the children, supporting the development of an open-minded attitude toward other cultures and ways of thinking.
Large Classroom
At Green Tree, children are our top priority. Our spacious classroom is designed to feel like a Canadian classroom, providing room for more than 12 children to play, enjoy games, and participate in sports or other physical activities with plenty of space to move around.
To keep the atmosphere fresh and exciting, we update the classroom decorations every month to match the current theme. This not only creates a fun and engaging environment but also helps children naturally build their vocabulary as they interact with the changing decor. One of the kids' favorite activities is searching for the theme words hidden around the classroom—a playful way to enjoy learning English!

Why Start Early?

-
Young children naturally mimic new sounds, which helps them develop clear pronunciation and strong listening skills. Even if they haven’t started speaking Japanese yet, introducing English will not delay their Japanese language development. This is because the majority of their environment is still in Japanese, providing a balanced foundation.
-
It’s common for children aged 2-4 to mix Japanese and English when speaking, but this resolves naturally as they continue to be exposed to both languages. Over time, they learn to distinguish and use each language appropriately.
-
Starting English at a young age allows children to experience the language as a natural part of daily life. When English becomes integrated into their routine, they become more open to watching English shows, listening to English music, and engaging with the language effortlessly. At GTE, children can practice the English they hear at home with our native-speaking teachers, reinforcing their skills in a supportive environment.
4. Very young learners are not self-conscious, enabling them to speak English freely without fear of making mistakes. This builds confidence and lays a strong foundation for future learning and skill development. By the time they reach middle school, where English is often evaluated through test scores, children who have been familiar with English from a young age can continue learning without the stress and pressure of catching up.
5. Early language learning promotes brain development, enhancing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and creativity.
6. Learning a second language from a young age deepens understanding of other cultures and nurtures a global perspective.
