Practical Experience Experienced

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it Responsible for teaching English (including TOEIC) at some language institutes and the following corporations.
Mazda, Sharp, Denso, Chugoku Electric Power, U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni (for Japanese personnel)

Message If you seriously want to improve your TOEIC L&R Test score, I strongly recommend joining this course. It is difficult to improve your score without speaking English, so in this course you will be encouraged to speak English in the lessons. I believe the more you speak English, the higher TOEIC score you will get. TOEIC, is “a language” rather than “a subject”. You can also learn this “language” by speaking to create a basis for international communication for your future career. I look forward to your active participation in this course.

Other Explanations are given in Japanese, and simple instructions in English.
The learning stage is from beginner to intermediate level.

Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
