I recently did a soapbox posting about using a contemporary event with great popular appeal as the subject of a lesson at my English conversation school 英会話, Smith’s School of English, Kawanishi スミス英会話川西校. This made for a really successful and very popular lesson. My lesson featuring the (not quite total) success of Japanese figure skater Mao Asada at [...]

I love teaching the students at my English school, Smith’s School of English, Tsuruhashi about my country and its culture. The Vancouver Olympics have given me a great opportunity to share all the wonderful things that are currently happening in my hometown, and my students can relate because they see a lot of the images [...]

Valentine’s Day is always a humble experience for Smith’s Eikaiwa Nakamozu and Smith’s School of English Sakai Higashi teachers. As we all know there is strong culture of gift giving in Japan and Valentines is no exception. We received many delicious chocolate sweets for which we are very grateful. Some of them were even homemade, yummy! I [...]

I had my fourth lesson with a student who started man to man (one on one) lessons at my Smith’s School of English in Koenji (スミス英会話高円寺 ) last Saturday week. The original purpose for her to commence English lessons at my monthly pay English conversation school (英会話月謝制) was that she had a job interview [...]

One of the great things about being situated in Tsuruhashi is it’s proximity to so many great venues. Now, I’m not just talking about all the wonderful Yaki-niku restaurants in the area, as they tend to “smell” for themselves. I’m talking about quite the opposite. Stuff that is good for your heart, i.e. physical activity! [...]
