Welcome to TEMI!

SEMINARS

believes that teachers are precious people like the valuable gems that accentuate jewelry. A ring is only a ring, but when it is adorned with a precious gem, its appeal and value attracts those whose gaze it catches. A classroom is only a classroom; but when a TEMI teacher enters it, the atmosphere changes. Just as each gem has its own unique appeal, no two teachers are exactly alike. But TEMI teachers, because of their passion for teaching English, coupled with the training they receive at TEMI Seminars, sparkle and shine in the classroom, generating warmth and inspiration to the delight of their students. TEMI teachers make a difference. Participating in TEMI seminars leads to TEMI teacher certification, a valuable addition to your credentials and professional development.

Here are some testimonials from educators that have found great success in working with Helene Uchida through her teaching seminars.
