I can't find any opinions about this school. Can anyone tell me of their experiences or what they've heard?
Thanks |

| Have you looked on the Job Information Journal- I believe there are a few posts on there. i worked for LH when i first came to Japan but that was in the 80's. No doubt its not different though. |

| I think they are good. I am a little confused because they recently laid someone off here in Takamatsu due to lack of work and then I saw an ad posting where they were looking for teachers. |

its only a guess but there is a lack of work in Takamatsu but they are looking for teachers in other places such as Tokushima and Matsuyama. When i was there they had teachers all over Shikoku. If they cant get a Takamatsu teacher to move maybe they have no choice when things go quiet.
One other thing i ought to mention is that Graham Page is (was) very temperamental and has a rather nasty temper, so you have to watch his moods sometimes. Other than that I thought he was a reasonably fair employer and helped with apartments and money during lean times. I have also heard if you are posted to an area outside Takamatsu a car is a good idea, as you will be teaching companies in remote places and public transportation is not that reliable. |

| "Public transportation is not reliable." So true, Paul. I couldn't survive without a car here. I'm a 15 min. drive to work or 1.5 hrs by public transport. |
