I've been teaching for almost a year now and my experience in RareJob is really priceless...
Since late 2008, my housemate has been urging me to join RareJob but I always gave her endless reasons why I don't want to: it's hard (well, IT IS HARD), I'm afraid of application process (that one is easy :D), and I don't know how to teach (or it's hard to impart whatever I know). Finally in February 2009, I joined the club. ^_^
This blog is for keeping whatever memories I have with my students, more tutorials, to enhance understanding between student and tutor, and *hopefully* to encourage my students to practice English through writing. I always tell my students to write, to blog, to have their diary or journal and I thought, that wouldn't be an effective suggestion unless I keep one myself.
So I started this blog which is open to the students' or other tutors' opinions, suggestions, and even violent reactions. :D
Posts will be in English entirely but I'm hoping that one day, I could input a Japanese translation with each. As for now, I'd still have to take my Japanese language class more seriously. ^.^

You are going to take Japanese class? I don't know why some foreign people would like to study Japanese. English can be used in many countries, but Japanese is only used in Japan... Now I really want to improve my English skill. It help me broden my chances.
I'm already taking a Japanese language course in my university. :) I wanna learn Japanese because...uhm... First, I need it. I realize I can teach my students more effectively if I know how to speak your language. Second, I loooooove anime. Haha. Third, I just wanna be multilingual. Japanese would be my third language. I wanna study Chinese next, then sign language, then Spanish and French. Haha!
Hi! I applied as tutor at RJ and was scheduled for Tutoring Skills Assessment. With this, I'd like to ask some tips about it and how to fill in the 30-minute assessment. Right now, I have no idea of what it's like to be in that assessment. I hope you can help re: that. Thank you. :)
