the SMILE class in the ways of interesting, building student-teacher interaction, and fully base on positive psychology or humanistic theories

Begin the business: If after a year trial, and the overall

performances of the SMILE teacher was good and bring positive effect to the learning attitude and grades of the children, than the business will officially start where payment will be demand
