This is one of the most honest reviews I've ever watched for aspiring teachers in Japan. We badly need experience before applying. Thank you Ma'am ☺

Awww〜 thanks Gayle! You are such a sweetheart and your contents are amazing too!🥰 Also, thank you for answering my question. I guess I have the same experience as you. Di ko masyado pinapansin so di ko alam if may discrimination nang nangyayari but the thing about job postings, I've felt that, too! But tinatry ko pa rin kahit na di ako "NATIVE" 😂lol

Hi Miss Gayle. Can english teachers bring their family in Japan? Thank you ❤

[@fabGayle]

Yes, they can! 🫶 As long as you have the work visa, you can make them your dependents. 😊

[@chanixx]

Hi, during the process is there a possibility that you will live with someone who is another teacher from the same company/ thank you po

[@fabGayle]

Hello po! Ang alam ko lang pwede mag share ng house once andito na. Wala pa po ako narinig na during the process e.

[@romaespineli883]

may I know po ano camera gamit nyo? thank you

[@fabGayle]

Hi! I use both my iphone 11pro and DJI pocket 2. 😊 Are you planning to make your own channel?

[@corpsehusbando737]

Question lang po sana masagot. If ever i pursue kopo pagiging ALT ok lang poba kahit wala papong teaching experience, college graduate pero hindi Education Major.

[@fabGayle]

Hi, answered that in the video. 😊 Thank you!

[@pxych2040]

Hi ms. Pretty Gayle, may I ask if an individual is still eligible to apply even though he/she is not currently connected to any type of company? But that individual has already 4 years of teaching experience here in the Philippines (subject taught in English language) but not in the field of English subject. I am hoping for your feedback. Thank you very much.

[@fabGayle]

Hello! Naks naman sa pretty. Thank you po! 😊 And to answer your question, I guess it’s okay but to be sure, you can have your resume assessed by the agency. You don’t need to pay anything naman so go lang. 😉

[@pxych2040]

@@fabGayle paano ko po mapapa assess sa agency ang resume, ms. Gayle?

[@fabGayle]

@@pxych2040 you can send them an email. Or check their website for more info cheshamrecruitment.com.ph/

[@eduardsonbodiongan3291]

Ate bakit ka po nag stop being an ALT po? ano po difference sa current job niyo ngayon po aside sa English parin po tinuturo niyo hehe?

[@fabGayle]

Hi, Eduardson. Thanks for watching. 😊 I just felt like it was time to try a different level of kids naman and I super love my work right now. The difference now is I have my own class I get to see everyday. Sa ALT kasi, once a week lang kayo mag meet per class.

[@user-uw3jn1bp3q]

anong agency po na best salihan?

[@fabGayle]

This is a tough one po kasi I only know the process of the agency na inapplyan ko.

[@arvinquemada9326]

Good morning, ma’am, I would like to ask po sana, if ever na hired po through direct and complete na po ang requirements saan po unang pupunta? Ano po ang sequence? DFA, Japan Embassy or POEA? Thank you

[@fabGayle]

Hello po! Na hire po ba kayo directly from Pinas? Sorry, hindi ko po alam ang sequence kasi hindi ko po na try. Dumaan po kasi ako ng agency nung nasa Pinas po ako. 😊

[@orlandocuare4679]

Nabanggit mo po yung courses na hindi pwede mag apply like nursing, engineering, etc . Engineering graduate po kasi ako and kumuha ng units sa Education.Ngayon po ay mag 10 years na ako sa DepEd teaching Mathematics in Junior Highschool.Pwede kaya ako mag apply as an ALT sa Japan?

[@fabGayle]

Hi, po! I’m not very sure about this situation sir. It’s better na you send them your resume and they will respond naman if you would be eligible. Free lang po yun. I hope pwede though. 😊

[@orlandocuare4679]

Good evening Ma'am, upcoming 1st year college student po ako sa sy 2025-2026, ano pong course ang need kong itake to be an ALT sa japan?

[@khun7917]

So okay lng po ba na ESL lng yung experience?

[@fabGayle]

Hi! In my experience, yes, okay lang. I’ve never tried teaching in a school sa Pinas aside from my practicum days. 😊 Hope this helps.

[@user-ey8zc3jb3c]

Kaya po bang mabuhay mag isa sa japan kahit english teacher lang at wala sideline? Magkano po average cost of living and magkano po monthly salary?

[@fabGayle]

Hi, thanks for watching the video. I talked about some of the expenses here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIikc2Svi6iZaNUsi=Kf0Yk6776oH0jHC3 to give you a rough estimate of the cost. The monthly salary depends on what job and company po. 😊

[@TeacherArleneAbayariUy]

kailangan po b currently teaching?

[@fabGayle]

Kung mag aaply thru the agency po.

I’m sure you’ll have a chance. Pero I think the competition for JET is quite intense. Marami akong friends na nasa JET though. Wala po ako alam direct hire e. Dumaan po kasi ako ng agency.

[@fabGayle]

@@cherryannbelen9866 yes po, pwede naman mamilo ng apartment kapag hindi po kayo straight from Pinas. But if you’ll come here the first time, usually ang company pumipili saan ka ilagay. Pwede ka po umalis anytime but may mga necessary fees po yun.

How many years na po kayo sa Japan

4 po. 😊

Worth it bah mg resign from public school para mag alt sa japan?

Hello po, to be honest hindi po kasi ako nakapag work sa public school so hindi ko po masabi kung worth it ba to resign.

How can you teach English? You are not a native speaker?

[@fabGayle]

Hi, yeah, I’m not a native speaker. As long as you meet the skill requirement for the job, you can still teach in Japan. 😉
