🇯🇵 Everything you’ve heard about teaching in Japan might be wrong.
Spend enough time online and you’ll find people saying teaching in Japan is stressful, lonely, or not worth it…
But after spending a year teaching in Japanese schools, my experience was completely different.
I met incredible students, worked alongside amazing teachers, travelled across Japan, and created memories I’ll never forget.
Was it perfect? Of course not.
But it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! Genuinely incredible and life changing!!!
I aim to share the reality of what teaching in Japan was actually like for me—both the challenges and the things that made it so special.
