Hello, I'm relatively new to Japan and this will be my first job teaching English.
I plan on staying in Japan permanently. I'm learning Japanese but, right now, my Japanese is basic.
I have some experience in Canada as an instructor.
I have two job offers! One is teaching adults at a private language school, the other is teaching kids at an eikaiwa. I'm trying to decide which job to take and thinking about my future.
On the one hand, there seems to be more jobs teaching English to kids, and if I wanted to be an ALT full time, the job teaching kids might be more relevant experience, right? On the other hand, there might be better opportunities to teach more advanced or business level English to adults. I do have a university degree and some teaching experience.
To teach more advanced English classes, I would need a master's, right? Does it look like jobs teaching kids will dwindle in the coming decades, thanks to Japan's low fertility rate? What do you think?
