I didn't have to go to NY. I lived in ATL so I was there for everything. I teach ages ranging from 12-14. They are very respectful at my school. I would say they are very respectful in general. It's just a part of the culture.
I've only been doing this for 2 months now so I have no idea how to answer that question. They asked me to do an impromptu lesson on the spot on what they wanted me to teach.
do you know a lot of people at your apartment?

That's a good looking apartment. *__* One question though, how do you do your laundry there?

@Kimbup This response is extremely late. I have to air dry them or go to a coin laundry.

Is it hard to adjust to? How long did it take you to get used to it?

Doesn't take long to adjust. You just have to take things a day at a time.

You location and apartment combined seem to offer a culturally enriched experience. The mountains look really cool
as well as grassy area in your backyard.
-!2-14 years olds seems like a good age, but I wonder if you have to deal with a lot of their social issues since they are hitting their teens.
- Are you going to become a full fledged teacher when you come back?

Are you part of the JET program? Do you know if people in their 30's are in the program?
Heiko959 3 years ago
Yes I am. Yes there are people in their 30's on the program. I think the age cap is around 40.

Thank you, but what do folks do after 1 0r 2 years working for JET? Are there other opportunities with JET in Japan?
During the interview process did they ask you to do a mini lesson plan?
