Early Morning Work?

4 comments

1. Many dispatch ALT companies offer working hours from 8 AM (or later) to 3/4 PM, depending on the company/school(s). The pay is likely to be crap though.

   The pay is (usually) better if you’re a direct-hire ALT, but you can usually expect somewhat longer working hours, too. It’s very much a case of ESID though.

   If you’re limited to eikaiwa though, then you’ll likely be looking for a very long time. There are relatively few people who have time to study English during working/school hours, so it makes more sense for companies to offer work starting in the afternoon and finishing (late) in the evening.

2. Berlitz and others have early starts, like 07:30, but they also tend to have split shifts—which suck

3. In Uni in Osaka, I used to work at Costco from 5am to 10am, they paid 1500 yen an hour

4. I worked as a dispatch business English teacher and I often worked split shifts- 2-3 hours in the morning, then 2-3 hours in the late afternoon/evening.

   In this context it might be possible to just take on morning work.
