A Financially Solvent English School

Pictured right is the Hills English School, the only job left me. What's the secret of its success? The experience of its teachers? The cozy ambiance? Its location next to a mid-size train station? The fact that one of its main competitors is bankrupt? If you answered with any of the preceding, you wouldn't be far off. However, the true secret of Hills' success lies, rather hangs, in the awning. A good awning adds protection from the elements. When it rains the awning keeps you dry. When it's sunny the awning keeps you in the shade. A good awning is the foundation of any 'eikaiwa' school. In all my years with Nova I never once came across a branch with a proper awning. And where is Nova now? Coincidence? - I think not.
