I’ve not been a teacher since 2019 and don’t plan to do it again.
However,
There were some things I liked about it and I love knowing I have it to fall back on if I ever need it for employment. It feels like though the industry is dying. I know a LOT of Japanese people attending conversation schools but they ALL seem to operate online with teachers over Zoom not even in Japan. This is hard for the businesses to compete with who have to pay a wage higher than what South East Asians would settle for. With AI and translation services constantly improving as well I imagine this has an effect.
I’m not talking legit qualified teachers, I mean just English conversation jobs in eikaiwa. It’s not a dig, I did it myself, It’s just a matter of fact they’re easy jobs to get as long as you’re a native but I get the feeling things are changing!
