Pros

I loved working with my coworkers and felt genuinely cared for by the principle and vice principle. The children are wonderful and so are the parents. MeySen provides a very interesting curriculum with lots of fun events and activities for the kids to partake in. Also, the foreign staff support is incredible. As someone who has lived and worked in Japan for over six years, I can say with confidence that you will not find better support. If you genuinely enjoy teaching, this is a great school to work for.

Cons

When I first arrived there were some sketchy things going on regarding pension. However, it was addressed and fixed.

Pros

The campus and city in Sendai is stunning. The kids are wonderful to work with and curriculum is easy to use. Meysen helps with EVERYTHING transitioning to a new country. Management wanting feedback and growth.

Cons

Some teachers contracted to work 6 days a week. High expeditions (Japan culture thing not necessarily Meysen)

Pros

The school has wonderful summer events (trips, camps, activities, etc.) for the students. Many of the students in the HS , Kindergarten, and the EX programs are eager to learn English, and create strong bonds with their teachers. Classroom discipline is supported, and there is a zero bullying policy. The English Support Staff is exceptional, and will assist teachers with doctor visits, dental appointments, immigration paperwork, etc. The school provides teachers with furnished apartments and sets up utilities and internet.

Cons

The FC English program is very demanding, and most teachers choose to switch to another department after 2-3 years. Workdays are M-Sat, and it is better to think of the position as a "camp counselor" rather than a "teacher." For older teachers, or those with a teaching degree, it would be better to apply for the EX or Premier program, which has an easier work load, more lesson planning time, and more "serious" English students.
