Hii, I am currently doing my ECT (newly qualified teacher- first year out of 2 years) and I wanted to teach in Japan after I finish my two years in the UK. A lot of the people I have been seeing online are teaching english through jet and other programs but they are assistant language teachers. I was looking for a job that would allow me to be the teacher in the classroom. I have looked around on tes and other websites but when i search the school on here, people have had bad experiences. I know everyone's experience is different but if management is horrible then everything will go downhill yk. Finding jobs abroad is hard because I can only go off things people are saying on here and yt.
I have seen a lot of people complain about the workload at private/international schools and how their mental health is out the window. I am now conflicted because part of me likes the close-knit community jet and the other programs would bring, through other teachers also being in your city and the workload is so hefty. However, I studied hard to become a teacher and I don't want that to go to waste by being a alt, with other people who have never taught before:(
I am here asking advice on what I can do ? Has anyone been on the same boat?
