What is Content Creations?

Content creation allows children to use the English they've learned to produce creative outputs. Through activities like creating and recording podcasts, producing videos, and learning basic editing, students can apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.

This "Input + Output" system sparks children's creativity, builds their confidence, and strengthens their English skills in a fun, practical way.

While not a programming class, this course focuses on content creation to improve speaking abilities, encouraging self-expression through enjoyable and engaging activities. We also offer an Eiken Success course to help students prepare for their exams with confidence and ease.

About Us

"Hello Everyone!"
I am originally from Cebu, Philippines, and have been living in Japan for over 15 years. For the past decade, I have been dedicated to teaching ESL, with my recent focus on instructing young learners at kindergartens and daycare centers, as well as training English teachers who are dispatched to nursery and kindergarten schools throughout Japan. In the Philippines, Filipino is our primary language, but we begin learning English as a second language from an early age. After relocating to Japan, I committed two years to intensive Japanese language study at a language school. Inspired by these experiences, I founded Eikaiwa Clover in May 2014, with the mission of empowering Japanese children to confidently communicate in English as a second language. I firmly believe that enjoyable, engaging English education nurtures children’s confidence, allowing them to grow and embrace new challenges across various aspects of their lives. In 2020, we launched Grit, a new brand that develops comprehensive educational materials for children's English learning, including music, videos, flashcards, and picture books. I also write original English picture books for children, and the Grit for Kids materials are now used globally by ESL and EFL students, preschools, and educational institutions. In 2024, I expanded our vision by founding Kate Bless Creatives Co., Ltd., which oversees the management of all our English schools, including Grit for Kids Creatives English Academy and Grit for Kids International.
