25 years ago today I quit my teaching job to do Genki English full time!
It was hard at first, traveling round the country in a friend’s 1975 VW camper van!
We’d do shows for kids & workshops for teachers at every school we passed.
To update the website I had to jump out of the van and plug into real life telephone boxes!
Eventually the press & TV started to hear of Genki English …
And I got invited to do workshops all over the world!
🇺🇦 🇮🇳 🇹🇭 🇰🇭 🇨🇳 🇰🇷 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 🇮🇹 🇻🇳 🇹🇿 🇸🇪
… and a TEDx talk …
Sometimes imposter syndrome set in. Then I got amazing words from Harvard or Oxford Unis! 😱
& the British Council licensed it around the world.
My aim has always been to make education FUN & get great results!
…and for some reason kids started loving it on Tik Tok and Youtube shorts!
I’ve met some amazing teachers over the years. I am so thankful for the kind words they have said.
It’s been a crazy 25 years but we’ve got more to do so that every child in every country can get taught in a fun, Genki way & get amazing results.
I’d love to help you too so feel free to DM me your questions or requests and I’ll try my best to help you!
Be genki
Richard
