Program: Native English Conversation Instructors Needed in Japan
I was in this program for almost 2 months and my only regret is not being able to stay longer. The staff are all ridiculously kind and helpful, if I ever needed something I was comfortable asking as they created a friendly and caring environment. The location is beautiful and a great opportunity to explore the nearby islands. I arrived in the winter and witnessed the beautiful nature, I can't imagine how gorgeous it would look during Spring and Autumn! The accommodation provided is amazing and super generous. All amenities and household appliances etc are provided and the space is comfortable and large. The accommodation is also a minute away from the workplace, right next to bus stops and a short walk away from the ferry and 24 hour supermarket. You can absolutely tell that the staff treats their students like family and cares deeply about each one of them. The community between staff and students they build is heart-warming. The students are full of life and very kind. Full support and training is aided continuously. Overall, I feel incredibly sad to leave and furthermore, so lucky to have had this opportunity. I wonder how I was so fortunate to be surrounded by such hospitable and interesting people. I am so grateful for Ark and this experience. Ark and Innoshima will truly always have a special place in my heart!
