I moved to Japan to take this job out in a small city in Kyushu. I work with a wide range of students (2 year olds to middle school students). I renewed my contract, but yesterday my boss said they want to break the contract. My end date will be at the end of March, so I only have a few months to secure a new job. I'll have worked there for a year and a half.
Any advice? Or common mistakes to avoid in this situation? I'm going to start applying to new positions on gaijinpot and look at jobsinjapab. Not sure whether to try and stay in this area or move to a city (this area is rural).
I'm heartbroken to have to leave the students. I've loved teaching them. I'm also confused about the actual reason for my termination because I've taken all his suggestions and worked so hard at my job. He admitted that I improved, but said I don't fit the "teaching style" at their school. I'm also the only teacher there who actually studied education in college. But that's irrelevant at this point, going to try and move forward.
