What's it Really Like Working for the Biggest Eikaiwa Company in Japan? 

This is pretty clearly about Aeon. Every eikaiwa is going to make you work long hours for less money than what you can get once you're already in Japan. If anyone stays at one of these large chains for longer than the one contract, they're really cheating themselves of a better experience.

almost no holidays, work whole day, short lunchbreak. I really hope that in smaller cities Eikaiwas treat their teachers better than that

This is a very insightful video. Thank you.

american here - i have been told to wear makeup at 2 jobs in america. once in a whole group setting they told us all we would look more trustworthy wearing makeup. thank you for sharing your experience!

When I can, I will love to move back to Japan to teach English. This company you are talking about seems like a good option for me. I'm a bit hesitant about the dress code (I never wear makeup, it never interested me, so I never learned how to do anything with it), but as someone who is more of an androgynous looking person (I am female, but I have sharp features, short hair, and tend to wear dark clothing, I'm also shorter than the average woman), maybe they won't know what to tell me. I've done it (I was an ALT in Chiba) before (I wouldn't recommend the company I worked for) And I really enjoyed the job! I was mainly teaching Elementary School Students, and as someone who has always been good with kids and keeping their attention, it worked out well.

Thanks for the helpful video! I was just offered a job for a super small eikaiwa in Yamaguchi, I'd be the only English teacher there. I tried Jeju Korea but had a very bad experience and left. I hope a smaller company will be much better!

Thank you for sharing your experience! It sounds like you picked the best Eikaiwa company ... good support, decent pay, nice coworkers. I agree with your cons too ... the whole point is to speak Nihongo. I think I would rather enroll in a Japanese Language School and then work part time anywhere ... delivery, bar, konbini, etc. The extra benefit of doing this is one could do this for a short period, like a few months or 6 months, whereas the ALT and Eikaiwa programs are 1 year minimum. Is that correct?

Hi, I have some questions for the Q&A! 1) Did you have any prior teaching experience? And was it necessary to become an ALT in your case? (because I've seen some companies that do require it and some that don't) 2) What are your main tasks as an ALT?

Please write it down here. I am interested im in South Africa

Hello! New subscriber here. I love your videos! They are informative. May I ask which eikaiwa company you were working? Thank you 🤗

So, a pro tip for placement location for ALT is to select the worst places to teach in hopes that tell will not give you those choices?

Hello, I'm am looking to move from Korea to Japan, and if it's not too much trouble, and I know you put this up a year ago, just for some reference, could you let me know what eikaiwa you worked for? Also, would you consider ALT or eikaiwa the best option? Thanks in advance, even if you don't get back to me this was a good tool for my research.

Good afternoon. I'm planning to apply in Kids duo or Winbe Eikaiwa. Any honest thoughts? Also im curious what was your company😁 please share

Hi, i was wondering if its possible to make a video on how to apply as ALT or a teacher in general for higher education level? and what is the expected average salary? i am fresh graduate with English literature bachelor degree, and i do have experience in the teaching field, mainly college level

Helpful video! Thank you😊Are there any possibilities to get a job if I don’t have a degree and I don’t have an experience? And I’m not native speaker 😒Just one tiny chance maybe🙂?

Hi

Great info! I’d love to teach at an Eikaiwa but never got a degree. Have you ever heard of teachers with no degree?

Hi I'm an English teacher in Jordan is it possible for a non native English teacher to teach in japan
