"This is a real job!"Kevin`s English Schools, Serving Japan Since 19910465-74-4458
Kevins English Schools was established in 1991. We now have three schools in Kanagawa, Japan and teach around 100 students. Two of our schools are in Minami Ashigara City, and one is in Odawara`s beautiful Kamonomiya area.Many schools in Japan are huge corporate enterprises, literally hiring a thousand teachers per year. Sometimes small is better! We have a few teachers in very homey schools. We care about our students and teachers and from that attitude, we make money. We realize that the former leads to the latter. In our schools it is common to find wooden tables and chairs. It helps to give the feeling of coziness we strive for. Teachers and students seem to enjoy the difference. Kevin Burns and his wife Ikumi are both teachers. Ikumi not only teaches at KES, and at local junior high schools but she is the manager as well. Kevin teaches at KES, Keio and Tokai University in Kanagawa.

Our school photos: Our classrooms are designed to be very homey with a lot of wood. We feel it adds to the atmosphere. As well one of our schools our Anne school is an actual Victorian house imported from Canada. All the materials were pre-cut in Cloverdale, BC then shipped and assembled on site in Japan. Our Tsukahara School looks like an old General Store. The classroom too has a old west feel to it. Of course it has wooden tables too! Kevins English Schools Japanese site
