A1. Skype Sensei is a portal site where language teachers and students can meet directly. “Skype Sensei” comes from the name of a software application, “Skype”, (Skype allows users to make calls through the internet) and “Sensei”, a Japanese word for teacher. It started in 2008 as a portal web site (www.skypesensei.net) which provides information to students who are interested in learning English. In 2010, Skype Sensei Info (SSI) and Skype Sensei Com (SSC) are established to provide better opportunities for both teachers and students. SSI and SSC are managed by a Japanese private businessman, Mr. Hidemi Dohi. These are under Asia Stars, the trade name for his businesses in Japan. Skype Sensei is affiliated with English Source (www.english-source.com), an online English school in the Philippines. Mrs. Karen Alano-Caceres, CEO of English Source is Skype Sensei’s senior advisor.
