Does anyone have any experience withe heart English school in japan ?

Question:

If so can you share what your experience was like (I'm thinking about applying for a job as an ALT in japan)

Answer:

I don't have any experience with the Heart English School in Japan, but I have worked in the ALT industry in Japan for many years.

ALTs mostly work in Elementary and Junior High School as an assistant to the main JTE (Japanese Teacher of English). I can highly recommend teaching in Elementary or JHS with an ALT company as this was the most rewarding experience for me teaching in Japan, and you get the chance to participate in real school life with real students.

In most cases in order to work full time in Japan you need to have a University degree and you also require the backing of a company in Japan to sponsor your visa.

Most recruiters for English jobs in Japan will require the following:

1. Native English Speaker
2. Full Bachelor Degree (in any field)
3. Basic Japanese Ability

The market is really competitive now so they also prefer teaching experience and qualifications such as ESL, TEFL or CELTA.

Salary is usually around 240,000 - 255,000 yen per month depending on experience and qualifications.
