Can we assume you have nothing except a vanilla BA degree and no experience?

Help us help you.

If you're just a beginner, go with AEON, ECC, or the JET Program.

Kinda helps to know whether you can come here to look around or if you have to stay home to do it.

You might want to spell check your posts, too. Perhaps they were typos here, but since you used the word "professional", some people might get on your case for making mistakes.

oh sorry excuse my typo's it was rushed, and im sure you make mistakes or, you must be perrfect. anyways'

yes I am a new person to this, hence why i asked the quesstion. Just looking for a reliable and supportive school.

but, thanks for the information, really appreciate it.

edit: I could look around, but my best option is for me to apply from Australia.

thanks again

Yes" my vanilla BA is in Psychology so thanks for asking, and I do have a TESOL cert as well, although my experience is limited i do have some.

Either this is a prank profile making a prank thread, or.....well if this is serious, I would strongly suggest you look for a different line of work. I am quite used to "internet speak" and that was beyond horrible for even that.
If you are really serious about being an English teacher in Japan, I suggest you spend another 5+ years learning the English language before even considering it.
If this is just a prank, then I suggest you grow up and find a new hobby. This is a serious forum for people who are or want to be successful people. So with that said, this is not a place for you.

Anyone who thinks that there is such thing as "correct grammar" has quite an antiquated way of thinking. There's a little thing called "descriptive grammar" that most of you are missing. I think OP has the right to express himself in whatever variants of English he wants.
