About Me

I'm just out of University, and I'm currently learning about TELF to try and get a teaching job in Japan.I've always been interested in Japan, both country and culture, though I'd like to go see other places sometime. Japan is what I'm most interested in right now. Now that my BA is finished, I want to take a year out to try and teach abroad, not only as a way of earning money so I can pay for an MA degree, but also as a way to shore up self-confidence in myself, and trying to become a better person as a result.
My interests are in film, video games and music, and I especially am interested in animation.

I'm done!

Just finished my 100 Hour Online TEFL Course this week! So now what can I do? Well, I've been wanting to enroll in the JET Programme for the longest time, and have been waiting until the application starts in October. I have looked into getting a job at Interac, but I think I'll just say that right now, the JET Programme is the best option for me teaching English in Japan. Another thing that I...

Rejected. What do I do now?

So I got a letter from Interac saying that they're not inviting me to any interviews...   Basically, the only reason why I went about trying to get a TEFL certificate in i-to-i has just turned around and told me they don't want me.   What do I do now? I don't know if I'm able to finish the TEFL course, if the Interac company just turned my application down. I'm up a creek without...

Hiya,


I reckon you could start your application while you're still working your way through your course. If you just request a call-back from one of the guys in our TEFL team they'll be able to chat to you about the application process and discuss your next steps: http://www.onlinetefl.com/contact-tefl-team/call-me-back.html


Good luck with your application!

Hiya,


 


Welcome to Chalkboard! That's great you're thinking about teaching in Japan - have you decided which area you want to teach in yet? To get you started on the site you might want to chat to Paul, who's just started teaching in Japan, to get his advice about finding jobs etc:

Also, make sure you check out the jobs available in Japan through i-to-i's job-placement service: http://www.onlinetefl.com/tefl-jobs-abroad/tefl-japan.html


 


Enjoy the site and good luck with getting to Japan!
