coming from Quebec, we have "College" before going to University, would a College degree be sufficient? or are they very adamant about having a Bachelor's?
I wonder just how much easier it is getting a job in another large, but not as popular city such as Sapporo, Hokkaido. I would love to work in Sapporo.
@HotPocketEXE It would probably be relatively easy for you to get a position here, especially if you teach in the outer suburbs. I am guessing that there are barely a few thousand foreigners in Sapporo, yet it's the fifth biggest city in Japan.
Sapporo is a nice place. The climate is rather nice, and there is a grid system for addresses, which makes getting around MUCH easier than in, say, Tokyo.
THX for the video Kevin! I was wondering whether there might also be a demand in other languages apart from English, like German for instance ... I mean: obviously there are more English schools around and I got enough confidence in my English, but what other languages are big in Japan? What other languages and cultures might people in Japan be interested in? Just in case you know or heard about that ...
I just wanted to teach English in Japan, I don't really care if it's Tokyo or not. :P I think I have a good chance! I got some money saving up and I think I have $3000 by now. So maybe I'll run into you and my other favorite Japanese teacher YouTubers soon! ^.^ Thanks for the info!!~
If you are a certified teacher you can teach in any international school anywhere in the world for embassy kids, foreign families, and rich natives in that country. I taught kindergarten in Tokyo at an international English speaking school that took really good care of their teachers who came from all over the world. So, one can teach history, art, math, etc. in Japan at any level just like in the States.
you can also get a "specialist in humanitites visa" for teaching its 3 years experience no degree required, but you have to have 3 years of tax slips to prove the experience.
hey kevin! this question might be..."odd" but what are your thoughts on teaching in osaka? Especially for new teachers who are going there for the first time. Cause from what i hear, they have like a country-ish accent? (i could be wrong), would this perhaps interfere / or be difficult with adapting to the japanese language? If you read this MUCH thanks for your time!! ^__^
lolol..I'm planning on teaching English there after I get a doctor of pharmacy?? Unfortunately, yes..my pArents want me to
Become a pharmacist but I will probably just move to Japan once I get my degree

I'd honestly rather teach in rural Japan. It seems so gorgeous.

@ericsurf6 many of the younger folks who message me seem to think that unless you're in Tokyo....your Japan experience might be lame!
Of course, that is anything, but the truth! So many wonderful places outside of Tokyo!

That was really interesting and helpful, Kevin!
What's about other languages? For example German. Are they searching teachers for those as well and is it as popular as English?
Thank you very much, Kevin.
Best regards,

i'm surprised you still get this question, a simple google search will turn up tons of results.
You also can get a job on a working holiday visa without a degree, but it will likely be part time.
for canadians the working holiday visa is 6 months long, with a 6 month extension. so a year
