Testimonials

Rather than attempt to dazzle you with a biting opening statement and fancy writing, I'll tell you about an everyday, successful Smith's English school franchise. You really can earn more money, with less stress and no boss. Try saying that about most English teaching jobs in Japan. It's possible to teach English at your own Smith's franchise full-time or part-time. It depends entirely on your objectives and commitments. Either way, being the owner-operator of any kind of personal business you enjoy is THE spice of life. And, a Smith's franchise is absolutely no different, except that it's easier than most if you like teaching and much easier than doing it yourself.

In my case, I've resolved to operate part-time because I have a great full-time day job with a high degree of autonomy. My Smith's franchise, which is in a separate apartment I'm renting, is open Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays 4:00-9:45 pm and Saturdays from 2:00-6:45 pm for a total of 22 hours per week. I opened in November 1999 and am in my tenth month of operation.

I experienced positive cash flow in month 4 (Feb.) and a net profit in month 9 (July). First year sales will top 3.6 million yen. It's smooth sailing from here. Based on these numbers, any professional business consultant will give a whole-hearted recommendation to anyone considering opening a one-person store selling any kind of product or service. They are attractive for a part-time business, too!

If you're going to be in Japan for a while, ask yourself what you're going to be doing 9 months from now. I'll be making way over a million yen a month. I'm almost there already and enjoying a life which I control. Think about your life and give us a call.

Don't look at English teaching in Japan as your job. Look at it as your business.
