Teaching English In Japan Is Awesome And Sometimes Hilarious

That’s still a lot of money for nothing. Perfect job!

10PM isn’t late.

Do you guys need degrees or?

Uh, probably to teach full-time as a professor or something at an academy. Our friends are like… teacher’s assistants I suppose doing grunt work hahaha. As long as the students or their parents find you suitable, we didn’t have to for private tutoring :X

Sounds easy.

Haha it really depends. I think the hardest part is actually finding a job. The high schoolers usually had connections or were half-korean/bilingual which made things easier

OMG 2k is where it’s at! I love the pants though! ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!! That guy would be funny no matter what language! And yeah, white and blonde really helps, even if you’re from Israel or South Africa and your English is poopy poopy poop.

Was it easy teaching them? What do you usually do for a class?

Sometimes you need degrees like “any BA”, some places only require you to be a native English Speaker. That’s where the whiteness comes in. Coz obviously if you’re Asian, you’re not native -_- (I’m just slightly bitter, ignore me!)
Some places if you’re lucky, they provide curriculum. Others, especially if you’re doing private tutoring (even on the side) you might have to make up your own. There’s lots of resources online for ESOL teachers though.

Haha or if you’re me, the “darkness” comes in :P Cuz then I’m obviously not… Korean at least.

Yea… I had to make up my own curriculum >_>; But I had access to English books; my dad had to teach English to Koreans using both when HE was studying Korean for the Army. /confused ...But sometimes I’d get ideas for verbal exercises or worksheets online.

It’s easier to be a private tutor. I see a lot of Koreans come over and be tutors for families rather than teachers as schools.

How much does it cost to live in Korea? 2k a month doesn’t seem like enough.

Hooked on Phonics!

You don’t see those TV commercials anymore :(

Haha I don’t know how much it costs to independently live in Korea, but their cheap food is COMPLETELY WORTH IT :D
<3

Completely? How so?
