A Look Back

You are here: Home / Blog / A Look Back

Jim Scarle (Owner/Teacher, Smith’s School of English – Hashimoto)

April 2007 marks the second anniversary of Smith’s English School here in Hashimoto, Sagamihara City. Many of the students have begun their second year and, thankfully appear to be quite satisfied!

Satisfaction is also something that I am lucky enough to get every day that I teach at Smith’s. Upon enrolling at Smith’s, the majority of the students are shy and not confident in their ability to speak English. It is always a great moment for me when I see these students breaking through the “confidence barrier!” Once this happens, improvement really begins to show!

There are several students at Smith’s Hashimoto that started as complete beginners and are now able to carry on conversations in English! Helping and watching these particular students go from”nothing” to “something” is truly the most rewarding part of my job. To them I say “congratulations and thank you!”

Every student in the Hashimoto school is unique, all having different reasons and needs for learning the language. Everyone is individual, and I make it a rule to recognize and address their individual needs everytime they sit down in my classroom…and we have a lot of fun along the way! Helping every student achieve their goals with the English language is my number one priority. I look forward to coaching and helping these people for many years to come!

Jim Scarle.
