Ruth Iida
Rainbow Phonics English School
About
I'm Ruth Iida, originally from the East Coast of the U.S. and living in Japan since 1999. I'm the owner and head teacher at Rainbow Phonics Eikaiwa in Hadano City, Kanagawa Prefecture. My job incorporates most of my hobbies, but when I'm not working I'm probably reading something, writing something, discussing something, watching something, taking a picture of something, or tramping around outside looking for something to take a picture of. I like to think that all that makes me a better teacher and hopefully, a savvier school owner.Sessions

It goes without saying that what works in Tokyo may not fly in the countryside, so Doris and Ruth, who represent these two perspectives, will speak to both contexts. They will introduce systems that have proved successful in their schools, how to implement them, and why they work.
