RE: Introducing Cool English - Moving All Content To Steemit, Planning To Expose 30,000 New Japanese Users To Steemit Each Month. よろしく！
Thanks! Why don't you do something similar? There's plenty of English out there.
I've got enough on my plate. I did teach at an eikawa many years ago and hated it so I'll leave it to people like you.
Ok, so I guess you didn't really wish you'd thought of it lol. There are plenty of other niches though. Where did you teach?
You're right, I would have probably jumped in front of a train had I have thought of it and actually acted on it. Still a good idea.
In Tokyo at a smaller eikawa. May not even be around anymore. We were "entertainers" not teachers.
Yes, eikaiwa can be a mix of entertainment, therapy, and sometimes actual English learning. My main goal at my school is to teach them how to learn on their own. A lot of people just don't know how to study language. But it is also entertainment a lot of the time, as in joking around and having a good time. I don't fake it though, if I feel like shit I let my students know. I think most people would rather see all sides of the teacher anyway, not a fake Genki face all the time.
But I run my own show, so I'm free to do it however I want.
