My Experience as an ALT with Interac

As someone who has been working as an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) for three years, I can honestly say it has been a rewarding and transformative experience. When I first started, I was understandably scared because it was a completely new environment for me. However, from the moment I joined, Interac provided incredible support that made the transition much smoother.

Interac’s guidance is outstanding. They walked me through every step of the way, answering all my questions and providing assistance whenever needed. What I appreciated the most is that their staff were always available to help, even going above and beyond their working hours to accommodate me. This kind of support really made me feel like I was never alone in this journey.

I absolutely love my role as an ALT. It has allowed me to grow both as a person and as a teacher. Not only have I learned so much about Japan’s culture and educational system, but I have also had the privilege of sharing my own culture with my students. The opportunity to create connections with students and see them grow has been incredibly fulfilling.

Being an ALT is a unique and enriching experience, and I am grateful to be part of a supportive organization like Interac that encourages growth and offers continued guidance.
