Teach, learn, grow and travel

Being an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) with Interac has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Seeing the students gradually gain confidence in English is the best part of the job. The students’ smiles and energy make every class truly meaningful and worthwhile.

Living in Japan has given me a deep appreciation for the local culture and the kindness of the people. Although the initial adjustment to the school system was a challenge, the support from Interac and the ALT community was a big help and made it much easier. This role has helped me grow both professionally and personally through daily interactions with students and co-teachers. I’m grateful for the chance to make a positive impact in the classroom while experiencing everything Japan has to offer.

Overall, my time as an ALT has been fulfilling. I’m thankful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the classroom while experiencing life in Japan.
