At the end of a long work day at the office, do your eyes feel tired? Ours do! When we are not teaching students in Nagakute, Miyoshi or Owariasahi, we are busy looking for more ways to make English learning fun and practical. And that means we research a lot, and exchange creative new ideas during our online meetings.

Many of our business students are working from home, and we are offering online lessons too, so these are definitely very useful tips!

We will also learn some medical words and expressions that you can use to describe the tiredness in your eyes.
