TEMI Seminars

Comments from Attendees

Thank you for an exciting and informative seminar. It’s always wonderful to see and feel the passion fellow teachers have.

Upon reflection, there were a few things that stood out for me. “Simple is best” is one of them. Another is Sohei-sensei’s words about graduation. Every March, I dread hearing who is going to be leaving because of their busy schedule. But then there always seems to be someone who works around their schedule so we can continue our lessons….which makes me very happy! And it’s not just the kids with their school activities. Spring is transfer time for many adults, and in the past, many students had to graduate due to new responsibilities. But now with the Internet, we’re better able to juggle our schedules and continue.

I’ve also spent some time thinking about what I can incorporate into my adult lessons starting this week. Your Warm Up Book is getting great reviews as we are all having great fun with it. I have other materials I’ve purchased from you that I haven’t been using lately….it’s time to get them off the shelf .

I am glad I gathered up the courage to join the seminar. As I had been teaching Eiken classes mainly and had little experience with conversation classes, I truly enjoyed all the activities and learned a lot from them! I was also very impressed and moved at how warm-hearted Helene and Sohei are. I felt I must improve myself and try to be more like them. I would like to join TEMI and become a member of the team.
