We recently spoke with Leigh, a licensed teacher from Australia who is one year into a direct hire contract at a private Elementary school. Here's what he had to say about direct hire!   Tell us a little about yourself and your work history. I have been living in Japan for five years now. The first two years of my time in Japan, I spent working in a small eikaiwa company, a job which was mainly teaching children. The next two years I spent working as an ALT with a major dispatch company, and during this time I worked at a number of different elementary and junior high schools. For the last 12 months, I have been working as a direct hire at a private elementary school in Tokyo.    What is your current position? What's a typical day like? I am currently employed as a full-time English teacher, as well as working as a sub-home-room teacher for the 4th grade. A typical day for me involves teaching 3 or 4 English classes per day, assisting with home room duties, supervising the children's play outside, as well as attending meetings and preparing classes. A busy, but enjoyable day!   What are some differences you've noticed between being a dispatched teacher and being directly hired? The main difference that I have noticed between being a direct hire teacher is that you are given more responsibility but also more freedom when it comes to preparing and teaching lessons. As a direct hire teacher, I am working at the same school every day and so I get to really know the teachers and students well, and I really feel like a part of the team.   What advice would you give a teacher who wanted a direct hire position? For teachers wanting a direct hire position, I advise deciding
