Teaching English in Japan for a short time (3 months) any ideas? Please! - 11-12-2008, 09:34 PM

Hey guys!

I really need some advice!
I was hoping to go to Japan next summer to teach English there in school with programs such as JET. But unfortunately all their contracts are over 6 months up to a year. And I need something shorter because I have to go back to university.

I do have good characteristics. I am so ambitious about this, that I even took up learning Japanese (my 6th language).
I have 2 years experience in teaching English to non-native speakers, and I really enjoy it.
I would really love to explore the country a bit.

If there is nothing like this, maybe a students exchange? I wouldn’t mind that either, just going to Japan has been my drive for my entire life! (Perhaps there is someone interested here in this)

Any ideas?
Best Regards from England!
Alex

Please explore a little before starting new threads that address your question.

Teaching English in JP for 6 months...?

Staying in Japan over the summer on tourist visa: is part-time work possible?

The problem is there is a glut of teachers that will sign three year contracts, so why would a company sign on someone who will only stay for a few months?

Three months is barely enough time to even get used to the work, let alone become at all good at it.
Think about this in a more realistic light - Why would somewhere want to hire someone who will leave before they even figure out the workplace? It would be a waste of the company`s time, money and effort.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
