 Hi, my name is Leslie and I'm from Canada. Welcome to my home. I live in Japan and I'm an English teacher at a junior high school. I've been living here for several years now and really enjoy it. I live on the countryside so it's a bit traditional but it's always interesting. However, recently I've been thinking about my future and I'm really hoping that I'll be able to have my own English school in my home. In order to do this, I know that there's a lot of work involved and one of the first things I want to do was make sure that I was up on all my qualifications. So I did the 120 hour course as well as the young learners course in hopes that I'll be able to open up my own daycare in English in the countryside. I don't know how it's going to work out but at least I've taken the first steps to get started.
