About Les Perras

 

About Les Perras:  
I have my own English language school in Ikoma, Nara-ken, in Japan.  It is a franchise called Smith's School of English.  I love working in my own school! (especially after years of working in other people's schools...)

This text will be replaced



I started off in Canada, where I graduated with a degree in Science and another in Education.  I have taught science in Alberta, Canada, and Lestotho, in Africa (two years).  

I moved to Japan in 1998, and have worked here teaching English, as well as a one year hiatus as a tour conductor (in Japanese!!  I took Japanese tourists on tours here in Japan!).

I have studied several langauges (French, Sesotho, and Japanese), and I can speak Japanese with some reasonable proficiency.  

Teaching my own students here in my school showed me the need for better listening practice materials.  I prepared most of these materials for use in my school, and one thing led to another and I have this site that you are reading.  

My Education

I have two degrees from the University of Alberta in Canada; one in science, and one in education.

My School

Here is a short video introducing my school.  



You can visit the homepage for my school here.  

Family Guy

I have beautiful wife and two great boys, now aged five years, and the other, five months.  After my part time work, and working in my school, I spend time with them.  (after that, I work on this site)
