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. 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.
