Georgia Payne Destinations TEFL Information Alumni Experiences The unofficial motto of the JET Programme is 'every situation is different (ESID).' This is completely true, and every JET's day looks different depending on whether they work in a public or private school, whether they have co-JETs or are solo, their teaching partner's style, and the school's schedule. I teach in a private junior and senior high school in central Tokyo, where students are aged 12-18. The following is my own experience, but every ALT's (assistant language teacher) experience on the JET Programme is vastly different. Wake up, get ready for school and commute to school 6:30 - 7:50 Home room: 8:10 - 8:30 Periods 1-4 Lunch time 12:30 - 13:10 Periods 5-7 After school 16:00 - 16:30 Saturdays Are you ready to teach...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences When it comes to learning a new language, people have certain insecurity, fear or embarrassment about speaking in front of strangers, for making mistakes can be quite embarrassing. Learners Needs Level of Motivation Do you want to acquire new teaching skills? Take a TEFL course! Related Articles: Listen to this blog post: Learning a new language is always a challenge since you need to know a new grammar, a new culture and a language that is, in general, relatively different from yours.

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences This is different thoughts on this as with on one hand some people say that it makes the lesson too rigid and on the other side other people say that it is essential for every teacher to do. I have been teaching English for about 3 years now. I feel I have improved in different areas of my teaching. The area that I have noticed the biggest change in over the course of those 3 years is my lesson planning. When I started teaching I would mostly just get the topic of the lesson and then basically just teach from my head using that topic. However, after a while, I got to speak to my fellow teachers and they introduced me to the importance of lesson planning and how to do this the proper way. I began to see the results almost immediately after I started...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Establishing rapport with students can be challenging sometimes, especially if this is a class of students who've already had different teachers or the students change around a lot. When there is inconsistency in teaching style or people, it can be more difficult for students to create a more meaningful bond. One of the key things I've always found in establishing rapport is to be friendly, positive, kind, consistent and understanding. There are different ways a teacher can show this. The way s/he introduces her/himself and shows interest in students initially, the level of professionalism displayed, the teacher's attitude towards students, the reward system put in place and the expectations set among many others. I have broken these down individually...  [Read more]

One of the most significant benefits of one-on-one private English instruction is the personalized learning experience it offers. Unlike group classes where the curriculum is designed to cater to the needs of a diverse set of learners, private lessons are tailored specifically to your individual goals, strengths, and...  [Read more]
