You will be teaching students from many backgrounds, at many levels of ability, and with many different needs. Some will be businessmen needing English for their work internationally, some will be students looking to supplement their regular public school or college education. Others will be housewives, interested in improving themselves and keeping involved. It will be a constant challenge to meet their varied needs and interests and levels.

We encourage our teachers to become members of JALT (Japanese Association of Language Teachers) and TESOL (Teachers of English to Students of Other Languages). JALT is a national teachers' organization, with local chapters in many cities, including Hamamatsu. Many of our teachers have found JALT to be an excellent opportunity to get together with other language professionals in the area to share ideas or sometimes even acquire promotional materials.

And of course Four Seasons strongly encourages the sharing ideas and experiences. Since our staff is international in both outlook and origin, we find we can always learn from each other. We have had teachers from over 20 countries at different points in time, each bringing us their own perspective to teaching and to life.
