Not what I expected

Apr 3, 2013

Okay, to preface, I must admit that I'm a bit of a Japanophile. I've been into manga and anime since junior high. After graduating from college, I knew I wanted to teach English in Japan - I just didn't know how to go about it.

I applied all around and really think that Teach Away offered me the most relevant info, in a prompt and friendly way.

Admittedly, I was expecting just a quick sales type of service, but they really took the time to explain the ins-and-outs of what I could expect teaching here in Japan. I got some tips on how to teach here in public schools and get along with the staff and community. Now, I'm living my dream here. Don't know if I'll go back home, haha.

What would you improve about this program?
It's hard to be a vegetarian in the countryside of Japan. The only thing I can suggest is that more resources be provided on how to live in Japan with special dietary needs.

Sugoiiii!!!!

Apr 3, 2013

Japan is amazing! As much as people worry about the disaster of 2011, everyone is living life as normally, and happily as possible.

I had my worries too before coming here to Tokyo to teach with a private language school, but Teach Away staff really knew their stuff - especially about any concerns stemming from the disaster.

Now, I'm getting paid to teach English in one of the premier cities of the world! Nightlife is great, it's safe here, and the Japanese people are warm and welcoming.

I'm still in touch with Teach Away, and they continue to support me during my stay here, and are even helping me coordinate my next international move.

What would you improve about this program?
There's really nothing critical to say. I got all the answers I needed, and continue to get their support.

I have Cambridge TKT certificates. Would that give me more qualifications?

Hi Brando –– Any additional qualifications to teach the English language will certainly give you an advantage! International and ESL schools in Japan will typically ask you to hold a bachelor's degree (in any subject) and an ESL certification.

Is it absolutely necessary to be a native speaker to teach in Japan?

Great question! You do not need to be a native Japanese speaker, although many teachings jobs will require you to be a native English speaker.
