Hi! My name is René Jermal.
I was brought up in Chicago, USA. Chicago is the third largest city inthe U.S. "The Windy City" has large diversity and an incredible music scene with everything from blues tojazz to everything in between.
I have been in Japan since August 2007, so everything here is very new and exciting for me. I have begun to study Japanese and I know how difficult learning a new language can be! I really love teaching English; it has quickly become a deep passion of mine.
I was an English major in University of Illinois at Chicago. I focused onpost-modern literature and film studies. I am also a film writer/director. I love watching and making movies.
I just moved to Kita Senju from Kita Omiya. I usually teach my classes in coffeeshops in Kita Senju and Ueno, but am flexible on locations.
I really love teaching at IHCWay because one-on-one classes gives the opportunity to really get to know someone from a different culture and allows the student to work on their personal strengths and weaknesses.

Good luck!

René 　

Hi! My name is Laurent.I came from France.I have lived in Japan for 9 months and I teach English and French at IHCWAY for about 7 months.
This is a great experience and I really enjoy it. Learning English is not an easy thing, however I am really pleased with my students motivation, all of them are working very hard and improved a lot. Here are a few tips:

1. Stay focused,work a little bit everyday.
2. Ask your teacher a plenty of questions (don't be shy!).
3. When you learn a new vocabulary,always try to write　sentences using them.
4. Read easy books, listen to English radio program (NHK).
5. Do your homework very carefully.
　
がんばってください！！
