Oh by the way I was going through some forums on non native speakers being employed as English teachers in eikawas in Japan. Some mentioned that they were given better opportunities coz of their degree which were either from the UK or US. Does this matter to schools in Japan when it comes to employing new teachers?

Thanks!

I have been to Nagoya several times, but have no idea how to answer that question.

I know someone who has worked for a Peppy's kid branch. Let me ask around and get back to you.

While I don't remember any details, my memories, such as they are, leave me with the impression that what I heard was negative, but not so much more negative than eikaiwa work in general.

We have a branch in Fukuchiyama, apparently as far as child centered English conversation schools, it's one of the better ones. You can do a lot worse.

Of course, take this with a grain of salt, because if it's a franchise, and I don't know if it is or not, then each branch may have significant differences in management quality.
