The idea for exchanging ideas is for small independent schools to reach out to others and find ways to help.

Good teaching with the aid of excellent resources is a must!

To achieve this Mark's English school has been in contact with other schools both in Aomori prefecture and beyond.

Many tips have been shared and everybody has benefited.

I would like more independents to get in touch.

Small English teaching schools from anywhere in the world are welcome.

Once a good friend said to me that anybody can be a teacher.

I think this was only half true. Anybody can be a teacher but not everybody can be a good teacher.

Constant review of your own teaching methods and being open to new ideas will keep you on your toes and ensure your classes stay fresh.

Those who have been teaching a long time will know how hard it is to maintain your spark!

If you want to contact my school you can do so by e.mail or facebook.

I hope to hear from you.

Hello.? I'm living in Goshogawara of Aomori prefecture.

My husband and I moved from England in 2000.

We have been holding our own private English class since then.

In a big company, people can talk about how to make lessons together.

However any teachers teaching at their own school will not have this same opportunity.

Then we get into the habit repeating same kind of activities over and over again.

That's why I think it's a good idea for independent teachers to communicate with each other in order to exchange methods and new ideas.

Also most private English teachers don't' have a system to cover when they are ill or injured.? ?Being absent from lessens due to sickness can cause inconvenience.

We want to make " the helping association "with local private English teachers so we can help you and vice versa.

If ?you are interested please contact us.
