The Existence of NEM Academy: Our Story

Hi! I am Dr. Semuel Olayvar, the founder and chairman of NEM (Nihon Eigo Master) Academy. Our online business is located in the Philippines registered under the Security Exchange Commission (SEC #), and we provide online English tutoring. The journey of NEM Academy began with a personal experience that highlighted a significant gap in the education sector. As an English educator, I frequently encountered students struggling to find high-quality, accessible English learning resources. The traditional classroom settings often failed to cater to the individual needs and schedules of students. This widespread issue inspired me to think differently and seek a more effective solution.

The Origin

During my years of teaching, I realized that many Japanese students were unable to achieve their English learning goals due to the lack of personalized and flexible tutoring options. The conventional methods were not enough to bridge the proficiency gap needed for global communication. Determined to address this issue, I launched NEM Academy in 2024 with a clear vision. Our mission was to provide personalized, flexible, and high-quality English tutoring that could adapt to each student's unique needs and schedules. By leveraging technology and recruiting highly qualified tutors, we created an effective online learning environment. At NEM Academy, we focus on English communication services tailored to the unique needs of Japanese learners. Our interactive learning platform is designed to provide engaging and effective language instruction. Tutors are not only experts but also licensed by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and are dedicated to helping students improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through personalized lesson plans and real-time feedback.
