TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

I have worked at a major English conversation school (in the metropolitan area) as a head teacher for 6 years. During that time I was in charge of conversation classes and English proficiency test preparation classes, ranging from baby to adult advanced conversation classes. I have also received the Best Academic Affairs Chief Award multiple times. I have lived in the United States for five years, where I studied tourism followed by a year and a half of employment at a travel agency. Examples of students' improvement: TOEIC® English Proficiency Test: Mr. A 330 points → 630 points. Mr. B 550 points → 730 points. among many others. (all of whom improved within 3 months), Eiken® English Proficiency Test: a 5-year-old student received the Eiken Bronze with a perfect score; 6-year-old kindergarteners - Eiken® 5th grade; 3rd graders Eiken® -level 3; 6th grader - Eiken® level 2.

I have worked at a major English conversation school in Kanto area for three and a half years. During that time I taught diverse groups of students from infant courses to business conversation courses to advanced discussion courses. I have also received the Excellent Lecturer Award.
More recently, I had the privilege to take part in the AEA program, through which I taught English activity classes at elementary schools across Kagoshima City. I currently teach English classes to Medical Administration, Public Office and Hospitality students at KBCC.
A few quirky bits about me: I'm originally from Bulgaria, I've worked at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Dubai and have a degree in Graphic Design from sunny San Diego in California.

When it comes to teaching English, learning-through-playing is regarded as the current mainstay by the Japanese education system. However, it is our belief that there is an inherent limit as to how much English a person could learn from a mere immersion in an English-speaking environment. Therefore, the academic approach is the backbone of our courses, in which we prioratize learning over playing. Moreover, we provide easily comprehensible lessons matching students’ level that leave lasting and retainable memories.

We provide easily comprehensible lessons matching students’ level that leave lasting and retainable memories. Important points are made clear, practiced thoroughly and repeated whenever necessary until key concepts are well understood. Clear explanation, practice and repetition embody our teaching method. Our students quickly expand their knowledge base primarily with the conversation practice they get in class and through the support of their parents before and after lessons at home. This in-class/at-home learning cycle is the core of our teaching method and underpins the success our students have achieved.
