Speaker

David Paul (Language Teaching Professionals)

Description

This presentation is aimed at supporting current or future school owners and teachers teaching privately. It is sponsored by Language Teaching Professionals, but it it not commercial at all.
David Paul started teaching privately in an apartment in Hiroshima and within twelve years was employing 50 full-time staff in Hiroshima and had franchise schools in Korea and Thailand. His school also became a center for the professional development of teachers in East Asia. This presentation will look at how this was possible and what lessons there are to learn that would be helpful for teachers trying to build up a school or private students.
