The other day, one of my students from Smith’s School of English Ohtsu (スミス英会話大津校) made me feel very happy.
When the student and I were practicing this week’s ‘One Point’ in a class (‘One Point’ is a phrase lesson offered through the ‘Free Online English Lesson‘ on our website) she said,

Anything out of the ordinary is fun for students. Some of my favourite lessons are ones that can be adapted to having the student’s using the white board or doing something hands on.
