I’m having a great time owning and running my own Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi franchise school in Japan and teaching English conversation there to my very kind students.

This week, which was quite busy with a few trials, walk-in inquiries and the usual full load of lessons, I got a special surprise.

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.

スミス英会話大津の日本語のサイトはここです。スミス英会話上新庄校の日本語のサイトはここです。 千晴の部屋はここで す。英会話無料レッスンはここです。 My English school in Ohtsu does well. I live comfortably and am very content with what I do.

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 [...]

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 [...]
