Hi, so here's the background. I'm a 29 yr old from the US. I have my TEFL certification and experience teaching English online to kids (ages 4-12). I have been to Japan a few times and am totally in love with it. I'm a year into learning Japanese with a native teacher so I would say I am still at a basic level but can definitely understand more than I can speak.
I have decided to make the move to teaching English in Japan. I have done a ton of research and decided that an ALT position would probably be better for me than an Eikaiwa. While it is my goal to make some money, I have worked hard at my full time job these past few years to build up my savings. So I can go into this feeling secure financially. This really is more about traveling/living in Japan and teaching young learners for me. SO I would love some advice on companies…
So far I have applications out to :
- Interac
- International Language House
- Kids Up
- BorderLink
- Heart Corporation
- Joytalk
- Yaruki Switch Group (Kids Duo, I Kids Star, Win Be, & Kids Duo International).
I have received Interview Invitations from :
- Interac
- Heart Corporation
My main question is which of these is the best and which is the worst. But I know things aren't that clear cut so really any advice, experiences, opinions, etc you can offer I would really appreciate! Especially regarding the two companies I have interviews for. Thank you all so much!
