I am Teruyuki Watanabe, Director of Universe Group of Schools.
I would like to say a few words about the opening of our school in Cebu City, Philippines.
It is my desire to launch a school with the principle of absolute English proficiency results at reasonable rates. I wanted to create a school that can make students master proper spoken English for a short period of time, so I decided to open a school in Cebu. To improve your English speaking skills, you need to build your knowledge in vocabulary and sentence structures and practice by speaking out what you have learned. Your English speaking skills will not improve if you lack foundation in vocabulary, sentence structures and speaking practice.
It is a known fact that interactive one-on-one English language training is too expensive in developed countries like the US, the UK, Australia, Japan, etc. for English as a Second Language (ESL) students because of their high labor cost. It is a huge burden for students.

Universe English School Cebu Inc. (UEC) has excellent teachers that were carefully selected because of their ability to teach and speak perfect American English. All the lessons are taught one-on-one. Our quality teaching materials, flexible curriculum and favorable study environment will help students improve their spoken English for a short period of time. Our school is located along the street popularly called Mango Avenue in a newly-renovated I.T. building.
It is a modernized building which is in a very convenient and secure location in Cebu City, only 3 to 5 minutes walking distance from the school’s affiliate hotels. Fortunately, our school came into agreement with some quality hotels within the city, so students can get a good discount during their stay in these hotels. We are confident that the students will enjoy great accommodation.
Unlike other schools, our goal is to establish a multi-national school that is not only for Japanese students, but for Russian students and students of other nationalities as well. We have been making a lot of effort to do marketing in Russia. Our staff is not only composed of Japanese and Filipino, but also Russian who will do marketing in Russia and other countries. We also have an in-house Filipino nurse and an on-call doctor that can attend to the students’ health needs.

Students will get the chance to speak English to different nationalities like Filipino, Russian, and Japanese. To continue practicing spoken English, students can connect with each other after their study program through Skype or email.

We aim to make the best school in Cebu with the help of teamwork among the teachers and the rest of the school staff. So, let’s learn English the practical way; let’s learn it the UNIVERSE way!
