(English language teaching Japan, photo of Japanese countryside by Paul Canosa)Who Should Not Teach at an English School? Teaching English at a language school can be a very good experience if you are the right kind of person for the job. The bright, energetic, positive types tend to do well here. Some people love teaching and it shows in their work wherever they teach.
Not everyone can be a teacher though. The quiet introverted types, who are more comfortable in front of a computer than in front of a classroom should avoid being a teacher. Before taking the step of applying to schools you need to sit down and ask yourself, can I be a teacher? What do your friends and family members think? Are you a natural teacher? Do you have it?

I believe good teachers are like good athletes, they are born that way. You can become a better teacher if you are a natural, but if you don`t have the personality for it, you are wasting your time and your students` time. The experience of teaching in Japan may end up being a bitter one, if you are not suited to the job.
