I have had the privilege of knowing and working with both Kenshiro Aoki and Tomoo Hagiwara for well over ten years.
Both of these gentlemen have the integrity, compassion, work ethic and positivity to make a difference in a student’s life.
In all of my dealings with Kenshiro and Tomoo they have been thoroughly professional, reliable and sincere.
It is important that parents have trust in the people involved in their son or daughter’s education and welfare.
Both Kenshiro and Tomoo can be trusted to ensure that the education and welfare of a student is foremost.
Kenshiro and Tomoo offer excellent insight into the New Zealand school system and are able to advise, recommend and support to the benefit of every student.
I have no hesitation in endorsing both of these men and wish them well in their endeavours in establishing and successfully running Align Education.

I have known Kenshiro Aoki in a professional capacity for almost 15 years, and Tomoo Hagiwara for 10 years. During that time, they have consistently shown the utmost professionalism in supporting Japanese international students.
Ken and Tomoo understand that students who have made the decision to leave Japan for educational purposes require a high level of support, both academically and emotionally. They place the care and safety of these students at the forefront of their responsibilities and, in addition, demonstrate an exceptional level of integrity. I can therefore highly recommend Align Education to parents who are considering this pathway for their children and are looking for an agent who will prioritise their children’s wellbeing.
Ken supported me as a translator when I was the International Manager of Avondale College, and he continues to support me now that I am the International Director of Mount Albert Grammar School. Finding good educational agents can be a difficult task for parents; however, I strongly believe that Kenshiro Aoki, Tomoo Hagiwara, and Align Education can be highly trusted.

20年以上にわたり、生徒と関わってきた存在
当校では、2001年から Ken Aoki(青木)と関わりを持ち、これまで多くの日本人生徒がスムーズに学校生活へ馴染んでいけるよう継続的にサポートを受けてきました。

St Dominic’s College has known Ken Aoki since 2001, and over the years, he has been closely involved in supporting many Japanese students in their transition to our school. We have found him to be very professional and very capable in their handling of students, families and school relationships.
Align Education is reliable, efficient, and demonstrates a strong sense of dedication in their dealings with students—offering support, guidance, and time. Based on our longstanding trust in Ken’s personal involvement with international students over the years, we are confident that Align Education can provide a high level of care and service to families and students alike.
It is evident that the programmes Align Education provide, enhance the learning that takes place at St Dominic’s College and definitely gives the Japanese students an advantage when applying to various Japanese Universities – especially for those aiming to enter higher-level institutions. From what we have observed, Ken has consistently provided thoughtful support to students over the years, contributing to their preparedness for university and tertiary education opportunities, which gives us great confidence in the guidance now offered through Align Education.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ken, Tomoo, and their team at Align Education. Their professionalism in the international student arena is something I deeply value.

I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with both Ken and Tomoo for many years now, and I can’t speak highly enough of them. They are two of the most professional, thoughtful, and genuinely student-focused people I’ve met. What really sets them apart is the way they connect with teenagers - not just on a surface level, but in a meaningful and lasting way.
Ken and Tomoo take the time to truly get to know their students, supporting them not only with their academic journey but also in navigating life in a new country. Their understanding of the challenges international students face is outstanding, and they play a vital role in helping young people adapt to life in New Zealand and thrive throughout their stay.
Their integrity, care, and deep commitment to their students shine through in everything they do. Any family considering working with them can feel confident they’ll be in kind, capable, and experienced hands.
