Teaching in Japan

My stay in Japan has provided me with many interesting and life changing experiences. The only reason that I was able to enjoy any of these experiences is because I was given the opportunity to be an English teacher.

My job was teaching private English lessons to students from all over, mainly in coffee shops near local train stations. This allowed for a relaxed and personal environment for both the students and the teachers. The students could have a personal teacher to learn with privacy and confidence and the teacher could adapt the lesson to meet the student’s personal learning style. I also learned a lot about Japanese culture from my weekly conversations with a variety of different students.

Although I am enjoying where I am at now, I must remember not to forget the hard work it took to get here.
