To realize the vision of “bringing innovation to education,” he founded “Tankyu Gakusha” in 2011. Starting with a teaching method that incorporated an inquiry-based approach into exam preparation, and after five years of research and development, he established the current interest-development-based education that ignites children’s curiosity—their “I want to know more!”and “I want to try that!” in children. Mr. Takatsuki, who aims to “establish interest development as a new learning culture” in the future, will speak on the topic “The Essence of ‘Interest Development’ as Practiced by ‘Tankyu Gakusha.’”
We hope you'll join us.
