Background

About Simon Moran

Make Learning Happen I arrived in Japan in 1995, and, identifying immense potential in the language education sector, established Modern English in 1998, transforming a budding idea into a renowned chain of language schools, school management software and print and digital publishing. As the mastermind behind Modern English, I've not only built a successful school chain from scratch but also pioneered best-selling EFL materials, including textbooks, workbooks, audio and video and an extensive digital library. I've harmoniously blended creativity with functionality, resulting in memorable characters, brands, stories and songs that truly enhance the learning experience. Furthermore, my expertise extends to school management consulting. I've advised numerous school owners on areas like financial management, sales and marketing, and profitability. My track record includes starting over 30 schools from scratch, and brokering dozens more school sales and mergers, ranging from solo operations to large-scale institutions. Internationally, our influence has touched thousands of educators and enhanced the learning journeys of hundreds of thousands of students. Additionally, I've been instrumental in aiding various publishers to enter the Japanese market and am always eager to explore new joint ventures. Contact me if you are looking to enter Japan, expand your educational business in Japan, need consultation on school management or discuss international joint ventures.
