Personally I am overjoyed I no longer have to keep making lunch, and going shopping to buy things to cook. One of the best parts about working as an ALT is for sure the school lunch.

Continue reading →: March 2024 – Happy Graduation!March is so short due to graduation, I decided to keep the English Board pretty simple this month. All the students were so busy with stuff they didn’t really have a huge amount of time to look at it and then they were all on spring vacation! I will admit,…

Continue reading →: February 2024 – Pancake Day / Valentines DaySo, apparently pancake day is only a thing in the UK. Who knew. Not me.

As all previous ALT’s at my school have been American, I put up a bunch of info about UK traditions / sweets which was all new to the kids. The vote bit worked well in September so…

Hello,
I’m Sophie
Welcome to what can only be described as a confusing nightmare record of previous English Boards / ideas I have had. I currently work as an ALT in Nagano, Japan, and have previously worked in Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa and Fukuoka Prefectures as an Eikaiwa Teacher.
