How to find English teaching jobs in Japan?We Answered:
The O-Hayo Sensei is a newsletter devoted entirely to finding English-teaching jobs in Japan. That would be my suggestion. My sister went over there for 3 and a half years and had a great time. Some of her students even came over to the United States to visit her after she returned.Daniel Said:
Is there any teaching jobs in Japan other than English for Americans?We Answered:
LOL--"lame human tape recorder" Yes its a joke. Part of my job this year is actually recording conversation for an English textbook. "Hi, John!" "Hi, Rodney! Sure is hot today!" What a fkkking joke.Look for international schools in Big Cities. What you are asking for difficulut to find it, so start in big cities like Nagoya, Tokyo, and Osaka. www.gaijinpot.com is laways a good place to start.

Where/How can i get a teaching English Job in Japan with no degree? YOUR HELP IS APPRECIATED <3?We Answered:
A 1 year brake, and you want to teach English? HmmmmSimply because you speak the language doesn't mean you would be an effective teacher. Sorry, but that's just a fact of life.You can take courses in ESL, and get some form of certification, and there are schools in Japan that will accept non-degree teachers. They don't, of course, pay top wages.
If you can get proper certification, you can travel anywhere and earn your way around the world. It's a great return for a relatively short investment in time.
Think about it, and good luck whichever way you decide to go.

Are there any teaching English in Japan jobs that don't require a degree?We Answered:
To work in Japan legally you need a work visa (and trust me, you don't want to try working illegally). The visa requires at least a four-year degree. This is a government requirement, not something specific to teaching English.Claire Said:
Does anyone know where I can find out about jobs teaching English in Japan particularly Kyoto or Osaka?We Answered:
The first step is obtaining the required work visa. The easiest way to do this seems to be with the large Eikawa schools, namely NOVA, GEOS, AEON and ECC. They will sponsor your visa, get you an apartment, take care of your bank account, alien registration, bill confusion, ect. I started with GEOS which was helpful considering I knew no Japanese when I first came. This is the benefit of working for these schools. However, the drawbacks are plentiful. I recommend going to the chat rooms of www.eslcafe.com to see what people's experiences have been. Keep in mind that these are often gripe sessions from people who will probably be unhappy wherever they are, so be somewhat skeptical.AEON seems to be the most professionally run company. NOVA takes the brunt of the verbal abuse, and GEOS was disorganized from my experience.
The Eikawa route is a good way to start, but if you have any teaching/Japanese/children experience, you might consider becoming an ALT from the start. As an ALT you work in the public schools (ES, JHS, HS.) This is what I'm doing in elementary schools now and I love it. The hours are much better than the big schools, the vacation package is amazing, (I have July 21-Sept 3 off! plus two weeks at Christmas) and the pay is the same. The JET program is the best way to come to Japan as an ALT. It's competitive and you have to apply from your home country in February. But the pay and general accomodations are amazing.
The main hiring season for ALT's has come and gone. Public schools start in early April, but they will probably be looking to fill some vacated positions following summer vacation in September. Check out their site. www.interac.co.jp
... there are more job opportunities for teachers in places like Poland, Czech, or Russia...
