Hello! I'm Chelsea, an American living in Japan and teaching English through the JET Program. This channel is a diary of my experiences in Japan, including (unofficial) info about the JET Program, vlogs, and more!
With the yen collapsing I predict that they will have to take who they can get. They will have to lower their standards perhaps to someone with just an Assiciates Degree even in the not so distant future.
With the yen approaching 157 yen to the dollar the wages seem very low. You get paid less than working for Starbucks in California with minimum wage starting at $20 an hour
Just got my placement in rural Kagoshima as well! Please no rent!!! 🙏 Hahaha! Thanks for the video! Can't wait! Makes the budge go so much further. Especially coming from a major city in the US!
I'm not quite to ready to move to Japan (I'm 49) but I can retire with my pension at 60 or 62. Do these teacher programs hire any part time assistants or only full time employees?
Hi its really good video, But, is this still relevant to now ? or no ? What about living cost in Nagoya ? is it enough with 250.000 JPY without rent or its still enough if included rent too ? I really confused right now, and couldn't find any good source that still relevant to now days. thank you in advance and hopefully you notice me and could answer me.
What about a personal retirement investment? Are you planning to retire in Japan? I don’t hear many living outside the US talk about financial security when they get older and want to retire.
Your place is so cute and pinterist worthy! I have a question because im thinking of applying to the JET program. How many holidays are you allowed to take off during the year? I want to be able to visit my family.
I am currently a college student studying the Education Course Major in English. I also plan on being an ALT someday, so this video was really informative and helpful. Thanks for this Ma'am Chelsea!
Im currently a full time teacher in America and finishing my certificate program. I also have quite a bit of japanese language knowledge and am planning to take my n5 test this year. I have my tefl certificate as well. I love teaching children as i work at an elementary school. Hopefully i get it because its my dream to teach in japan.

I still have to study for 2 years, but I'm already planning to get into the JET program after I graudated and when I save enough money. For the video, it really is helpful because it gives me so much ideas on how to spend and budget the money (If ever that I get accepted). It'll be my preference, for sure.
Hello po! I plan to be an ALT under the JET Programme. I want to ask which TESOL/TEFL online school did you take in order for you to have the certificate?
Hi! This video has me 100% sold on giving this a shot. I am a bit concerned, however, as my appearance is far from what I imagine a "good pick" would be for a role that involves working in an educational setting with young people. I'm very heavily tattooed (nothing on my face or neck, but the back of both hands are tattooed so even if I wear a coat, I would not be able to cover up entirely). I have nothing offensive inked (no offensive symbols or words, no nudity or graphic imagery). Will this be a problem?
I am going to be a Kagoshima JET in the fall and your videos are so helpful! I am so stressed for what to pack, but you are calming many of my fears. Thank you!
Did you have any trouble bringing the 28L as a personal item? And do you remember the airline you flew? I can imagine an airline not allowing that 28L as a personal item because it's "too big."
I love this breakdown, thank you! I'm interested in applying to the program but I was worried about the expenses. Is a car necessary, though? I don't know how to drive, lol.
Hey, Chelsea! I am Nolo, also in the JET program. I love your energy and think you are stunning. I would have privately DMed you on Insta, but I have deactivated my account. Where are you placed? Not sure how we can privately message, sorry🙈😆
