Hello Visions International Clients, Students, Partners and Supporters!
It’s been a long time since you have heard from us, so we would like to let you know our big news, and inform you of some new language and cultural engagement activities through travel!
Please allow me to introduce you to the new owners of Visions International Language Coaching in Greenville, SC, USA–Carmen Cummings and Yasako Parks! Yes, you know Carmen and Yasako who have loyally and joyously coached English and Japanese language and culture with us for many, many years.
In 2020, Carmen and Yasako became licensees of Visions International to own and manage their own language coaching services. Fast forward to 2023, but not overlooking their unwavering commitment, fortitude through the pandemic, diligence and pure love for teaching language and culture, Carmen and Yasako have grown and embraced ownership of their own language coaching company as a T.E.A.M. (T.ogether E.veryone A.chieves M.ore)! Please take a moment to send them a congratulations!
You may ask what happened to Bernell, the founder and former owner of Visions International Language School since 2003. Visions International LLC is still a coaching, consulting and training company now with a licensing service for language and intercultural training professionals. Bernell is still deeply engaged in language and cultural development and enrichment, but now through cultural travel and tours in partnership with Visions International Language Coaching!
Since 2013, Visions International Language School has been creating local cultural experiences for our students to engage with local people in real, authentic learning, cultural and business situations outside the classroom through our Executive & Youth English Immersion Programs. You may have been one of our immersion students or local hosts–thank you!
We went on to envision a cultural travel company that we are now elated to present to you– World Awaits Cultural Tours! You may have seen all over social media Bernell traveling the world since it reopened fully in 2022 to plan immersive cultural tours in over 8 countries, 71 cities, on 6 trips in 8 months!

Now, Carmen, Yasako and Bernell have planned local, regional and international cultural tours that we would like to invite you to go with us to “travel like locals” and with our local hosts! We will go beyond the touristic path to engage with the local culture and local people in authentic, meaningful ways.
