I hated the "jobs" so I created my own in Japan

Written by Craig Desorcy


I was having such a hard time working for English schools in Japan like so many others. From being made to sell over-priced text books to students, not having sufficient time to prepare lessons, having students put in my advanced classes with-out being able to say I like pizza in English, etc…

After three years teaching in Japan I entered management and what an eye opener that was! Besides being expected to work 70 to 80 hours a week, I was also expected to hire, and train teachers which is fine but after a new teacher starts and sees what’s going on they turn to me! What can I do? The real ball was not in my hands and it hurt becauserepparttar new teachers trusted me and counted on me not to take advantage of them. After being in Japan for three years I just about had it when a friend suggested I start my own school. To make a long story short, that’s what I did and it’s beenrepparttar 107069 BEST!

In Japan you do not need any special business certificates to open a school. I started in my home and a year later opened up a business location. Sure you need to pay your tax but so what! It’s a small price to pay to be free!
