how is being a cram school teacher in japan


how is being a cram school teacher in japan?
my fiance in japan is a chemistry major and he is so smart but he wants his first job to be juku (cram school) teacher, from my perspective, teachers do a lot of work but don't get paid enough, he says japan is different from the US and that cram school teachers make a lot of money, but either way hes only making this his temporary job until he finds a company job just so he doesn't stay jobless after graduation, so does anyone know how does being a juku teacher work in japan? do they still have to keep going to school while teaching like here in the US? and around how much do juku teachers usually make? thank you

cram school teachers are llike tutors, except for a lot more students, so think tutoring one person and then multiply that by a class, so yes they do make a good amount more than teachers here, dont know the exact though sorry and i do not believe they have to keep going to school as long as they are eligible for teaching a cramming course good luck with your fiance

I'm a Black American Hero, and I know two japanese girls that teach juku. They said that they were very, very busy. One is my good friend. The other one is noriko. Noriko hates Black People. She developed her hatred for Black People after eating at pizzeria torreze in shinsaibashi of Osaka, Japan, because masuda from pizzeria torreze told her to. Also, she taught juku and it made her hate Black People times 10.

Juku is one name of cram school. The large ones are called "yobiko" in Japan. Did you know that? Some teachers in yobiko are earning a lot of money like $1M for one year. If someone is really good at teaching, it's possible to earn that much. But is your fiance a Japanese? There is no reason for juku or yobiko to hire a teacher who is not Japanese. Because those schools teach kids how to pass entrance exams and foreigners did not take entrance exams for Japanese colleges.

Public institutional school teacher's salary is very bad but they will take enough pension after retirement in late future in Japan. Private school's payment is up to teacher's skill and result.Overall, juku teacher is not good job except being more free from other restriction such as non-teaching and unprofessional things in the school. Teachers always are doing a lot of work including non-teaching office work and unprofessional routine work all together with his own professional teaching in school.. Juku teacher is much more free from those tedious annoyance. The first time Juku teachers would earn around Yen250,000 for monthly salary which is better than first timer public institutional school teachers at least. Only one thing difficulty is for Juku teachers working time is day and night and weekend and holidays at random too.
