Working part-time on a Saturday after a long week of full-time Mon-Fri work can be difficult. No one likes working on their day off. But at OYIS Saturday School I always felt like Saturday was the best part of my work week, so it never really felt like such a chore. I would wake up early on a Saturday and think not "Ugh, I have to go to work" but "Oh We're doing.... today, how exciting!". At OYIS Saturday School teachers are given all the resources they need and enough guidance and support, balanced well with the trust and freedom to deliver high-quality lessons. The curriculum contains a sufficient amount of content and yet a fair bit of flexibility so that teachers can adapt to the needs of their students. The classrooms have technology (such as projectors, Chromecast, Apple TVs, etc) that can be very helpful in enhancing the effectiveness of lessons and taking advantage of the myriad of resources available online these days. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are native teachers from different places with different kinds of experience who are always willing to help out with ideas and advice. The Japanese teachers are hard-working and dedicated and help to make the day go smoothly. The management is incredibly supportive, available to assist with any issues that might arise, open to ideas, and very helpful in communicating with the parents. The students are energetic and rambunctious but also motivated and eager to learn. OYIS Saturday School is one of the best places I've worked in my 8 years teaching English in Japan.
