This week I had two students start who transferred from other Smith’s School (Otsu and Kotoen). This really brought home the meaning and the power of the franchise to me and it is something anyone thinking about starting an English school in Japan should consider carefully.
If I were out there on my own, I [...]

My English school in Ohtsu does well. I live comfortably and am very content with what I do. I never have to work too hard, and I have the freedom to do as I please, teach as and when I please, and relax accordingly.
Possibly one of the most difficult parts of running your own business [...]

One of the best things about the most recent Smith’s owner’s seminar was the chance to meet the other school owners for the first time. Both Mike and I have only recently become owners, so it was essential that we visited another school to chat with the owners about issues relating to marketing, curriculum use [...]

Last Sunday I attended a Smith’s School of English seminar in Osaka, Japan. I always enjoy seeing fellow English franchise school owners at seminars. I also appreciate getting advice and direction from Smith’s School of English founder Mark Smith on how to grow and improve my English school, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi. Thank you very much Mark!

My favourite breakfast on Sunday, the day off for both my wife and I, is croissants and other pastries from a local bakery here in Tsukaguchi that I’ve written about before on the Soapbox. However, that shop is sometimes closed on Sundays. Last Sunday and today (another Sunday), it was closed so I and my [...]

Learning proper pronunciation is important for students to speak English well, such as learning the proper pronunciation of “r”, “v”, “er”, “f” and “th”. The Smith’s curriculum helps me do that. I showed my last student how to pronounce “er” and “ir” (which have the same pronunciation) and “th” while doing a Smith’s Routine called “The Restaurant”, [...]

There may be a global financial crisis going on, but at my school, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi School, business is good! In January I had one of my highest turnovers ever. I am very happy.
This morning I got out and did some flyers, which I hadn’t done for a while. It is a great [...]

In the entrance of my school above shoes shelves, there’s a flat surface. I keep flyers and brochures from local businesses which I do exchanges with there. Every year before Christmas, I put Christmas stuff there too. I have a mini Christmas tree with ornaments. I also have a small Santa Claus doll standing there. Last Friday, a [...]

Yesterday Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi School and Smith’s School of English Okamoto School had a joint event. We went to Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto to see the autumn leaf color change. We had a fantastic time!
We were a total of 19 people. First we went to the temple. The temple and leaves were really nice and we [...]
