Teaching Position Opening Announcement
Alpha English Academy is looking for a hard working teacher with the experience of teaching at Japanese elementary and junior high schools.
A note about the culture
I've seen it hundreds of times. Foreigners come to Japan and then it's "Man! This isn't what I expected or was told Japan was like." Believe me, there is an adjustment period to get through. I'm not saying you'll like everything you see after that, either. But I think if you remain calm, stay positive and think it through, you'll be able to "do" Japan without too much trouble. The fact is the culture, the style of thinking about life and the language is quite removed from the rest of the world. It's a combination of many things (all of them not easy to explain) throughout the ages that has made Japan what it is. Like any country, Japan has it's good points and it has some hang-ups. Though the hang-ups tend to be a little different from what you're used to, take the gentle approach and enjoy Japan for what it is. It's my hope that you'll have an enriched growing experience while staying and working at Alpha English Academy in Kushiro of Hokkaido,Japan.
Sincerely
Fumio Funaki
