"Entrepreneur", pronounced {ON-trup-un-err} is "a person who organizes and manages a commercial undertaking, especially one involving commercial risk."

In other words, an entrepreneur is a person who sets up their own business and is their own boss. They don't work for anyone else, and they don't rely on an employer to pay their salary. They can earn as much as they want in proportion to their creativity, hard work and selling prowess. But of course, if they are unable to sell to enough people, there is the risk of not earning enough money to survive.

At Horne Learning Services, we are entrepreneurs. We formed this company with my wife Fidelia as the Managing Director, and myself as the Chief English Trainer.

I've made it a point to create our very own English teaching materials. We haven't copied or borrowed anything from anywhere. Our word games, spelling tests, reading articles, essay questions etc have all been created by us.

Is there anybody reading this who is an entrepreneur? What's the best part of being an entrepreneur?

One year on . . .

Horne Learning Services was officially formed in February 2012. It came after deciding to make a proper business out of Mr. Duncan's English skills, and a lot of hard work to make it happen.

Forming the company, writing and submitting a formal offer letter and invitation to work letter, gaining a long-term visit pass and receiving permission to work from immigration were all stepping stones to settling down and getting to work with Horne Learning Services.

One year on, we couldn't have imagined the number of people who have contacted us to learn English here! We have opened more classes, filled them up, had 4 successful English Workshops at Vistana Hotel Kuantan, and started 2 adult classes per week. We have also enjoyed teaching English to the staff of Vistana Hotel during 2012, whilst creating 100% our own syllabus.

We're really thankful to our students and their parents for putting their faith in Horne Learning Services, and look forward to many more successes and improvements to come in the future!

Busy April

April is an extremely busy month for Horne Learning Services. There are a number of things going on for us including a couple of new ventures. 

We are teaching English to school-aged children each week as well as continuing training the Vistana Hotel staff once a week. 

On to the new ventures now . . .
