Dream Education Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ichikawa City, Chiba; CEO: Shichiro Sakamoto) announced that its online tutoring service 'Manatera' celebrated its 10th anniversary on May 25, 2026.
Since its launch in 2016, Manatera has maintained a consistent operational policy despite the rapid growth and changes in the online education market post-COVID. The total number of lessons has surpassed 520,000, reaching families in more than 34 countries worldwide.
Key features of Manatera include: - Point-based system with no admission or monthly fees: A pay-as-you-go model that supports long-term learning without financial burden. - Over 200 diverse tutors: Beyond standard academic subjects, the service covers abacus, English conversation, programming, art, piano, shogi, and psychological support. - Catering to diverse needs: Serving as a hub for students with unique backgrounds, including those living abroad, returnees, and students with school refusal or developmental traits. - 24/7 Availability: Lessons can be flexibly scheduled around the child's daily routine.
To mark the anniversary, the company will host a free online seminar for parents titled 'Child-rearing Online Fes 2026: Hints for Parenting in the AI Era' on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Five experts, including CEO Shichiro Sakamoto, will deliver relay-style lectures on topics ranging from psychological support to legal issues and AI-related educational challenges.
Comment from CEO Shichiro Sakamoto: 'When we started in 2016, the term online tutoring was not even common. Staying in operation for 10 years was only possible thanks to our students' families and tutors. In education, longevity itself is the foundation of trust. We will continue our mission as an inclusive platform for diverse learning while keeping our original core design.'
