Leny Valle

レニー（英語講師）

Hello! I’m Leny. Originally I’m from Philippines but now living happily in Japan.
I like reading, listening to Gospel music, travelling and going to “onsen”.
Teaching Bible studies and English language became my passion.
I hope to share with you my knowledge of speaking English fluently
via Ark School.

Speaking and understanding English will allow one to communicate effectively
in so many parts of the world and in turn be able to explore and travel confidently
to other countries.
I believe Ark School will be able to meet your needs to study English efficiently.

Lauren Kojio

ローレン（英語講師）

Hello! My name is Lauren. I am from America. I was born in the beautiful Washington state, not too far from Seattle. But I have spent most of my life in California. I became interested in Japanese culture after high school, and I felt God calling me to go to Japan. Because of my interest in Japan, I met the man who is now my husband.

Learning a foreign language opens up doors that you wouldn’t expect. If my husband didn’t learn English and if I didn’t learn Japanese, then we probably would have never met. I feel blessed that I can help others through teaching English. I pray that it opens doors to an amazing future for my students, just like it did for me.
