Teacher Assistant Reviews
What is it like working as a Teacher Assistant?
October 2016
Assistant Infant Teacher.
Teacher Assistant:
Pros: Working with children.
Friendly co-workers.
Cons: Disorganized staff.
Having responsibilities outside job description.
Overworked staff.
Stressful environment.
Putting up a front for parents.
October 2016
Teaching English in Japan.
Teacher Assistant:
It seems easy to enter with the almost non-existent requirements, but it's because of that reason that the competition can get tough. Especially or a non-caucasian. But if you do get the chance, pursue it and you'll be rewarded with a very relaxed work-life balance and a lot of free time to pursue other activities. The pay would start small, of course, if you start with a company. But once you earn experience and get directly hired by the city/school, the pay would rise in compensation and the workload fairly the same.
August 2016
Teaching every subjects.
Teacher Assistant:
Pros: Teaching.
Spending timing with childrens.
Giving extra knowledge.
Cons: Too much load in so much less salary.
August 2016
Pick your battles.
Teacher Assistant:
Each child you come in contact with has their own talents, learning strengths and behavioral problems. No two are the same. In cases of a challenging child, pick your battles. Pick the areas that you feel that can lead to success.
July 2016
Stay Far Away.
Teacher Assistant:
Pros: The parents and the kids were the only reason I did not want to leave.
Cons: Illegally cheat you out of OT, not offered any benefits, my schedule was not consistent, my placement in the rooms was all over the place, if you have to go to the bathroom forget about trying to get ahold of the front office to let you go. The directors have the WORST attitudes. You never leave when you are scheduled to. Backstabbing teachers that are encouraged by the owner and directors. Expected to do way more than your job description and not compensated appropriately. Need supplies for projects or for the classroom? Expect to buy them out of pocket and good luck trying to get reimbursed. Always out of ratio.
July 2016
Trust.
Teacher Assistant:
Don't judge any child or parent.
July 2016
It's mainly for young people without the resonsibility of bi.
Teacher Assistant:
The job is for those who are young physically people without bills. Also the pay is like if you are doing volunteer work.
