Internships in Shizuoka, Japan

The location being close to Mt. Fuji it is always a spectacular view. I had never taught before or spoken a word of Japanese but this program is not only doable with no Japanese, but is easy and very fun. The staff are all very friendly and kind; always helpful as well. The kids are great and understand English, but if you can't get your point across there are also Japanese teachers who will be there to assist you if needed. You're given a nice apartment in the same building with the other teachers/interns where it is a good chance to make friends and get to know each other. The apt. is also walking distance from anything I needed. My favorite 2 places were 7/11 and Sukiya. PS. Google maps and google translate help you wonders. Being an intern I normally worked only 4 hours a day, which gave me the chance to use the rest of the day to explore and travel during the weekends. Aside from getting to explore new foods, buildings, an amazing culture, and many more, you'll have the time of your life!

I started my internship last September till the end of November. It was an amazing 3 months of gaining teaching experience and getting good friends! I got the same apartment as the girl in the previous post. The apartment is near to the convenience store, near to groceries stores and now even close to the pharmacy because there is a new pharmacy that just opened a month ago! They gave me a car for traveling to the schools. The students were nice, they are familiar with their English syllabus so you won’t have any problems teaching them. Fellow teachers were also so nice, they will always help you! Ls also will provide you Japanese class, which is amazing because you will able to use/ speak basic japanese! Overall, everything detailed in previous posts were all true and I couldn’t agree more!!
