Interac English School

Interac English School, is a leading provider of assistant language teachers in Japan

I was once offered a job. It was to teach in some companies near Odawara--this was back in about 1990. I turned it down to start my own school.

I was interviewed in Tokyo and at that time they taught mostly company English classes.I was impressed enough at that time but wanted to start out on my own.

Nowadays, they are one of the leading providers of ALTs to junior and senior high schools in Japan.

About ALT Employment

Largest non-governmental provider of ALTs--Assistant Language Teachers to high schools and junior high schools. They even send teachers to universities.

*I highly recommend securing your job directly with the high school or university if you can however. Your pay will be much higher, and you will be treated with much more respect by colleagues and other staff.

*Some existing university staff tend to shun employees that are sent to their institution by agencies. Keep that in mind if you want to go this route.

(Though keep in mind that starting as a new teacher at a jr/sr high school or a university is tough). It should take you a while to feel at home anywhere really.
