Overcoming Bullying: A Journey to Waseda University and Beyond

In a significant event organized by Kizuki, an online recruitment seminar for prospective tutor positions will take place on August 26, 2025. Leading this session will be Abe, a current employee and graduate of Waseda University, who overcame a challenging childhood filled with bullying. His story is not just a personal victory; it is an embodiment of Kizuki's mission to provide a supportive learning environment for individuals facing various difficulties, including school refusal and developmental disorders.

A Journey from Struggle to Success

Abe's journey began in Miyagi Prefecture, where he faced bullying due to his poor eyesight, which required him to wear glasses from a young age. However, everything changed when he dedicated himself to his studies in the third grade. This commitment not only helped him gain confidence but also led him to understand the profound impact education can have on life. Abe insists, "Learning has the power to open new doors," a belief that fuels his passion for education today.
