Putting together a book about Crazy Eikaiwa teaching experiences. Looking for some people who can anonymously answer any or all of the following questions.
What did you expect in terms of teaching when you first came to Japan? Did it change after you started teaching?
What would you say the ratio of "good/honest" schools to "bad ones" are and why?
What was the craziest eikaiwa you ever taught at?
Did you ever have any strange students?
Any crazy colleagues?
What about the positive side about teaching in Japan?
In your opinion what is the secret to surviving teaching at a language school?
If you had CELTA (or other training) how was what you learned in school different from what you found out when you started teaching in Japan?
Did you ever have to use legal or other social resources to solve a problem and what came of it?
Have you ever worked for an exemplary school? What made it so?
How has teaching in Japan changed you as a person?
Do you intend to teach after you leave Japan?
What is the most difficult part of teaching ekaiwa style classes and how have you learned to cope with it over the years?
Do you feel there's a type of person or attitude best suited for the rigors of the ekaiwa business in Japan?
Please note: Only first names will be used and companies will not be identified by name.
