Climbing Mount Fuji through the night is very popular as you get to enjoy the sunrise once you reach the summit. (Source: mohamed_hassan)There are two options available to you if this is the case.The first option is to start your climb at the end of the day before the sunset. You can enjoy the sunset where you are or continue the climb and stop in one of the huts on the way up for the night.  The huts only have a few futons on them so don’t expect any privacy for the night.  You can pay for the night or just a few hours. After all, you’re going to have to get up early if you want to see the sunrise over Mount Fuji.Your second option is to start the climb at 21:00 or 22:00 and climb through the night to enjoy the sunrise in the morning.  There’s a ceremony in the morning, making the experience even more special. You’ll hear the Japanese anthem and be able to see the flag flown over the peak. However, you won’t be alone on these paths. You can find a torii at the summit.Durin g the day, the climb isn’t as interesting but there are fewer climbers and it’s warmer. You can enjoy some of the viewpoints on your way up if the weather permits.The Fuji Five Lakes RegionJapan is home to many marvels including the Fuji Five Lakes. You can easily spend 5 days there.

Outside of these dates, it’s not forbidden but it’s not recommended. Temperatures swing between -18 °C and 8 °C and the av erage temperature is -6.5 °C.

The climb, while difficult, can be done by all ages as long as you’re in good physical condition.When Is the Best Time to Visit Mount Fuji?To avoid the crowds, avoid weekends in summer. Go during the week and make sure you avoid school holidays. If you want to climb Mount Fuji, the best time to visit is when it's open for climbing! (Source: sayama)The best time to go is still in July and August. In June and September, temperatures can drop quite drastically. After all, June is the rainy season and September is typhoon season.It’s even better for enjoying the views when the weather is good. You might be disappointed if you get there and can’t see anything.You didn’t climb all that way for fog, did you?It wouldn’t be a great end to the day.Getting to Mount Fuji from TokyoThere are two main ways to get to Mount Fuji from Tokyo.

You can then get the bus to the foot of the climb.You can also get the JR Limited Express Azusa or Kaiji from Shinjuku to Otsuki. You then just have to take a train from Fujikyuko to Kawaguchiko. This will take you around 2 hours and 20 minutes.You can also get the bus from Tokyo Shinjuku station in around 2 and a half hours to Kawaguchiko. This is the simplest way as you won’t need to change, unlike the train. It’ll cost you between 2,000 and 2,500 yen.

However, the climb i s difficult and you’ll need to plan and be in good physical condition.Plan the climb before you start it. If you have problems with your knees, the climb could be difficult. After all, there is a lot of loose volcanic rock. If you're a novice climber, it's probably a better idea to visit Mount Fuji in a group. (Source: dylanagonzales2011)It’s a long hike which can take between 4 and 8 hours depending on your physical fitness. The summit is 3,700m up so make sure you take it easy so you don’t get altitude sickness. It’s better to take your time and get to top rather than take unnecessary risks.The Yoshida route is the easiest. This is also the busiest one. You can also take the Subashiri, Gotemba, and Fujinomiya routes (check the opening dates).Avoid mid-September and instead opt for July or August if you can. There are huts on the way up to the summit where you can stay if the weather changes.Make sure you have the right gear: warm clothes, waterproofs, hiking boots, and walking poles will all be greatly appreciated on the way up and down. Don’t forget about the descent, which is hard work on your thighs and knees. You should bring 2 to 3 litres of water or energy drink. There are places to pick stuff up but they’re quite expensive.Don’t forget a head torch and bring money to use the toilets.So are you ready to head up Mount Fuji?Learn more about budgeting for Mount Fuji.If you're interested in learning Japanese, there are plenty of great resources online to help you. Similarly, you can also get help with your Japanese from one of the many talented tutors on Superprof.There are three main types of tutorial available for Japanese: face-to-face tutorials, online tutorials, and group tutorials.

Once you get serious about it, you can always start working with a face-to-face or online tutor and learning exactly what you want to learn.Before you make your decision, remember that many of the tutors on Superprof will offer free tuition for the first hour.

Scholarship Preparation Adams A to Z

Scholarship Preparation Adam's A to Z Knowing where to start with scholarship preparation can be tricky for entrance to independent schools such as Eton and Westminster.  We spoke to one of our experienced tutors,  Adam M, who shared his A-Z of what it takes to be successful when preparing for these testing series of exams.   A is for ambition and attitude. You must be ready, willing and able to face the challenge of studying for a scholarship.   B is for brainstorming. There is a lot of essay writing to do in the exams, so get into the habit of mind-mapping, structuring your ideas.   C is for character. In a competitive atmosphere for a place at a school, prepare as if you want to win a race, to be first, to be the champion!   D is for diligence, discipline and determination. E is for enthusiasm, engagement, encouragement and example. Try to enjoy the preparation process, savour the moments you are studying, try to stay upbeat through the whole process. It won't always be easy, so having a positive and exemplary attitude to study will do you credit. F is for fulfilling your potential. Going for the scholarship is your opportunity to shine and perhaps you will surprise yourself as to just how much you can achieve! G is for grit - passion and perseverance towards long term goals. Now is the time to show it. H is for Hard work. You can't avoid it. I is for Investment. You will look back on the experience of studying and discover all the things you have learnt well worth the time invested. J is for Journey. The preparation for scholarship exams is a journey. There will be highs and lows, peaks and troughs. It's all character-building stuff. K is for knocks. I have seen the scholarship journeys of many children preparing for these exams and how you respond to knocks of confidence along the way will determine your success. L is for learning. There will be lots of it! M is for motivation. Keep it up, and make sure there are people around you motivating you to keep focused and spur you on. N is for notes. Take lots of them. Memo cards, spider diagrams, bullet points - they all help you learn. O is for organisation. You will be at an age where you should be taking some sense of responsibility for own actions. You should know where your files, papers and pens are kept, not your parents or guardians to know for you. P is for positivity, productivity, practice and preparation. Q is for questions. Ask lots of open questions - Who, What, Where, Why, When, How - to develop your critical thinking ability. R is for reading. Keep it up, it will fuel your writing. Pick some books to read from suggested reading lists and read what you both enjoy but is also challenging your reading level. Read newspapers and magazines, listen and watch the news. Stay informed. S is for support. Whether from parents, teachers, tutors, nannies, wider family, they will all be behind you, rooting for you and your success. T is for time management. You will learn more about allocating and prioritising time to work and play and ultimately in the exams themselves.   U is for unlocking your potential. You will learn more about yourself and become more aware of the world around you. V is for vocabulary. You will want this to be as strong and varied as possible to use naturally when writing in an exam or in interview. W is for writing. Whether it be discursive, persuasive, creative or other forms, you will learn to appreciate the forms of each and be able to write in those different styles, as necessary. X is for extra. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little word 'extra'. Y is for YOU. How much do you want to get the scholarship, to do your best? That's entirely up to you. Not your teachers or parents or anyone else. Z is for Zzzzz.... Make sure you get a good amount of sleep.... and after all that hard work studying, you’re going to need a well-deserved rest! Adam M  is a  highly experienced tutor offering common entrance and scholarship   tuition. He has also written articles for tuition blogs on Classics, History, Maths and the nature of tuition  and has been interviewed by the BBC, for podcasts, for articles in The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, among others.  Interested in booking a lesson with Adam?  Click here to visit his Tutorfair profile  and find out more!

Do you spend enough time with your kids - ALOHA Mind Math

Do you spend enough time with your kids The parent in thisarticletalks about how doing a simple project with your children is so much more rewarding than letting them spend time with electronic devices because you’re busy with something else. Have you ever felt similar to what she talks about? This may be a very common feeling especially with working parents who sometimes feel like they are snatching for time spent with their kids. Here are some things you can try to make things different: Schedule the time:Prioritize your tasks so that you always get to spend some quality time with your child. This includes time for “just” chatting about what happened during your day. Kids have a habit of sharing tiny tidbits about their day that can give you a lot of insights into what is happening in their lives. Once you make a habit of it at a young age, they just might continue to share a little bit into their teenage years too. Photo Courtesy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mamchenkov/1874226333/ Plan hands-on activities:You can plan a lot of hands-on activities and even take up one project a month to make something interesting. It could be something like helping you build a tree house which will also have a tangible result for the child to enjoy and cherish for a long time. It could also be related to something your kid is learning at school, so it will have the added benefit of helping them understand their schoolwork better. Introduce a new habit:If you feel like your child may not be reading enough, this is the time to sit with them and read a book. The more of an example you set, the more the kids will follow. Teaching them to keep a diary is another great activity that is interesting and will also improve their creative writing skills along the way. A parent I know introduced a daily tell-a-story-before-bedtime routine to improve his child’s confidence. We all try to do the best we can, and hopefully with the help of these little tips we can enjoy spending more quality time with our kids. Our classes at ALOHA can serve as a great way to improve your kid’s confidence at school. Do check out our website for more details:http://www.aloha-usa.com

Jimmys teach abroad story From ESL instructor to experienced web developer

Jimmy’s teach abroad story From ESL instructor to experienced web developer Packing up and moving across the world to live and teach is a major commitment. When a teach abroad candidate makes the choice to sign their contract and solidify their plan, they take a lot into consideration. One of the key pieces in this decision-making process is whether or not they think their experience abroad will be valuable to them upon returning home. Licensed teachers tend to wonder whether or not hiring schools at home will see international teaching experience as a bonus, while ESL instructors are more likely to be concerned with whether or not their overseas English teaching position will benefit them in career paths beyond the education sector. This question is especially important for recent college graduates who are considering teaching English abroad. They want to know if taking a year to go teach in China or Japan or Korea is going to halt their personal professional growth. Fortunately for them, teaching English abroad is a phenomenal way to exhibit their sense of adventure, broaden their knowledge of foreign cultures, and gain international work experience. These college grads who do end up at the helm of overseas ESL classrooms don’t all stay in education, though. Since they aren’t teachers, their professional journeys upon coming home can include just about any type of work; the only similarity they share is their career is made better with the addition of valuable international work experience. The following is a story from James, the man in charge over at JimmyESL. James taught English in Japan for several years and is now seeing the benefits in his everyday life at home in the United States. Teaching English in Japan: 2007 - 2011 I had wanted to travel and live abroad for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been naturally drawn to the unknown, including other cultures, ways of life, languages and perspectives. I knew from an early age that, as an adult, I would do whatever I could to see the world. While there is still much of the globe to explore, I was fortunate to have had the chance to teach in Japan from 2007 to 2011. In the years leading up to my arrival in Japan, I heard countless stories of fellow westerners who had taught there. I knew from the start that I was destined to teach in Japan. In fact, I never really even entertained the idea of going anywhere else. But that is just me. Wherever you end up, remember to enjoy your time and turn it into a positive experience. In 2006, I was a 25-year-old graduate student at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. I had a comfortable position as a graduate assistant and was on track to go on for a PhD in political science. However, I was bored and knew that what I really wanted to do was live abroad - not in ten years or when I retired and could afford to, but at that very moment in my life. It was during that time that I began to seriously consider teaching and living in Japan. I scoured the Internet for as much information I could find and talked to as many experienced ESL teachers as I could. Nobody really had to sell me on the idea as I was determined to get there one way or another. In the beginning of 2007, I applied for a teaching position in Japan. It was with a large, English conversation school. I was hired and arrived in Sapporo, Japan in June of that year. I taught at at this school in Sapporo for one year before moving on to a smaller English school the following year. Living and working in Sapporo was an incredible experience. To this day, it remains one of my favorite cities in the world. After two year and a half years of teaching in Sapporo, I took a job as an ALT (assistant language teacher) in a junior high school in Okinawa, Japan. Okinawa was quite different than Sapporo in so many ways. Nonetheless, it was also an amazing time. During my four years in Japan, I met heaps of interesting characters, taught at both private and public schools, saw a good deal of the country and learned the language. Going to Japan was one of the best decisions that I ever made, but in 2011, I decided it was time to return home. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Teaching ESL in Washington, DC: 2011 - 2015 Upon returning to the United States, I joined a few friends of mine in Washington, DC, who had moved there while I’d been teaching in Japan. Rather than finding a job in government, I decided to keep doing what I had been doing - teaching. Because I had earned a TEFL certificate while living in Japan, I was able to find a full-time job teaching at a private English language school in downtown DC. Teaching ESL in America was quite different than teaching in Japan. In DC, I was a teacher in an academic track program. In other words, most of my students were on pace to enter an American four-year University, graduate school or medical school. The best part of teaching for the International Language Institute in Washington, DC, besides the fantastic group of teachers I worked with, was the diversity of the student body. In Japan, all of my students were Japanese, but in the US, I had students from all parts of Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and even parts of Europe. What I remember most is having vibrant and enthusiastic classes of 15 to 20 students from all parts of the globe. This was an interesting dynamic to witness and it without a double allowed me to grow as a teacher. JimmyESL and web development: 2014 - present I loved teaching and I still work occasionally as a part-time instructor of political science. However, in 2014, after seven years of teaching, I decided to follow a different path. It was at that time I decided to start JimmyESL.com, a blog dedicated to providing accurate information about teaching English abroad. At the time, I had no web experience or knowledge. After a couple of hours searching on Google, I discovered a wonderful web platform called WordPress. From the moment I first used WordPress, I was hooked and it is the platform I used to build JimmyESL. While I initially wanted to create a blog that would provide real information about teaching English abroad, I began to learn more and more about web development, including WordPress. As my skills began to develop, so did JimmyESL. It took a while to get it established, but today I can say that it is a known and growing blog within the TEFL industry. During the process of creating JimmyESL, I learned enough about WordPress and web management that I was able to land my first full-time job as a web manager in 2015. I have since moved on from that job and the job after. Today, in addition to managing JimmyESL, I manage and build WordPress websites. My ESL experience somehow translated brilliantly into web development, as TEFL formed the knowledge base for my blog and kickstarted my post-ESL online career. Looking back over the time between first teaching in Japan and now, I can confidently say that it has been a positive experience and I have been fortunate to have had many opportunities to travel, meets tons of interesting people and grow as a person.

When cho osing your tutor, you want to make sure that they will work with your school schedule and class size, as well as a budget for the time they will spend with you.First of all, it is important to ask yourself if the tutor will adhere to the rules of your school. For example, if your school requires that you can only be alone with the tutor on certain days, do they honor this rule? Are they professional enough to serve as a student teacher? If the answer is no, then you should be looking for a different tutor.A tutor that has a high-quality reputation, while understanding your school and class size, is always a good choice. This will help to ensure that your private lessons will be fruitful and enjoyable. Of course, you will need to keep an open mind when selecting a tutor, especially if they provide private instruction.Ask your tutor if they understand the school rules that govern classroom management. The tutor should always understand the demands of the school and class size, as well as what other students are doing in the classroom. This will give you peace of mind knowing that the tutor you select will work with you within the guidelines set forth by your school. If the tutor doesn't have a professional demeanor, or doesn't care about the school, then there is no point in having the conversation at all.As you search for the perfect tutor, be sure to take into consideration the above tips. It is important to pay attention to the name of the tutor, as well as the school he or she attends. Also, be sure to check for any other details such as the contact information, any professional certifications or licenses, or any awards the tutor may have.
