There are many roads to attaining English expertise. Yusuke Matsuda got there via a career as a physical education teacher. \u201cI\u2019ve always been active,\u201d says Matsuda. \u201cIn my phys ed teacher days, I teamed up with the English teacher and exhorted my students to play sports in English. I wanted to bring more freedom into English learning and make it feel less like a chore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teaching and education are Matsuda\u2019s greatest endeavors, though he knows how difficult school life can be. \u201cAs a kid, I was bullied and my life was pretty miserable,\u201d recalls Matsuda. \u201cBut in junior high, my phys ed teacher took me under his wing. He taught me to be strong and enabled me to build my self-confidence. He changed my life forever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matsuda\u2019s mentor is likely to be extra proud of his former pupil now. Matsuda holds degrees from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Stanford Graduate School of Business. He\u2019s also the founder of two nonprofit educational organizations, Teach for Japan and Learning For All.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, Matsuda leads Crimson Education Japan, an organization that supports Japanese students seeking study at universities abroad. His deep and abiding interest in education brought him to this place. \u201cOne of our goals is to provide quality international education, and to offer a more diverse and customized learning experience. I believe this will help nurture a person into being innovative, productive and able to hold their own on the global stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During his days as a phys ed teacher, Matsuda realized that \u201cthe more effort I poured into my work, the more I began to notice the cracks and contradictions in Japan\u2019s education system. I wanted to found my own school and to this end, I had to learn about leadership and school management.\u201d Matsuda was disappointed by the programs on offer in Japan, so he looked overseas. \u201cI wanted to get to the very top, which happened to be Harvard University.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The climb was far from easy. \u201cMy English abilities were at around the Eiken Grade Pre-2 level when I started. I studied like mad and took the TOEFL exam 14 times before I got my score up to 104.\u201d Matsuda listened to CNN in English during his morning commute and committed tons of vocabulary to memory. \u201cOn Fridays, I went to an Irish pub in Shinjuku and forced myself to speak to three non-Japanese people. I went for lunch with the ALT (assistant language teacher) at my school to up my conversational skills. I began a study blog to hold myself accountable. Studying English is like muscle building. In that vein, I\u2019ve been in training for the last 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, Matsuda couldn\u2019t believe it when he was accepted by Harvard. \u201cI knew my GRE scores \u2014 the standardized exams used for U.S. graduate admissions \u2014 were dismal. Later, I was told they were probably the worst in Harvard\u2019s history. But I was accepted on the strength of my essay, which I was told was full of passion about what I wanted to achieve. I\u2019m very glad I went to Harvard. I discovered that the people making significant social impact through social startups are likely to have studied abroad. It\u2019s not so much the academic degree that counts as much as attaining connections on a global scale and gaining an objective vision of Japan that enables people to realize Japan\u2019s weaknesses as well as its potential. You can meet such high fliers when you study abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
