A message to the new foreign teacher,
Earnest English Academy is a school made up of some great staff with unique personalities. The foreign team, although small (currently 4 people), work well together and look out for each other. One thing for sure, if you end up working at this school, you will not feel left out. Your students at this school are composed of both group and private lessons of all ages. Also, you will be teaching students of all levels of English, from the absolute beginner to the near fluent.
The most important things about working here while having a great time in Japan are openness and flexibility. You are after all in a different country with different cultures. It is not uncommon for misunderstandings to surface, but know that no one is out to get you. We're sure you want to stay in Japan just as much as we want to keep you here! Our suggestion is that you and the management understand clearly each other’s expectations from the very beginning. Frictions which appeared in the past between the foreign teachers and the Japanese management were usually miscommunications and difference in expectations (what I call, “asymmetric information).
Having said all that, working here is overall pleasurable. You will be with a group of well qualified teachers and staff who are always ready to help. Don’t be shy to voice your opinion or suggestions. The business is still relatively young but has grown to be a fine and stable establishment for the last 7 years. You will be busy and you will be working hard at times. However, at the end of the day, when your students are happy and there are no complaints, you know you’ve done a good day’s work. In the long run, everyone can learn lots from each other, whether it is between you and your students, or your colleagues. So we hope you will enjoy your time here!
Cordially yours,
E.E.A The Foreign teachers team
