Teaching English and Mandarin in Japan?

Question:


If I had a university degree from an English-speaking country, am I able to teach English in Japan?

Also, since China is Japan's most important economic partner now, is there any demand for Mandarin teachers in Japan?

And how much are English and Mandarin teachers in Japan usually paid?

Answer:


In most cases in order to work full time in Japan you need to have a University degree and you also require the backing of a company in Japan to sponsor your visa.

Most recruiters for English jobs in Japan will require the following:

1. Native English Speaker
2. Full Bachelor Degree (in any field)
3. Basic Japanese Ability

The market is really competitive now so they also prefer teaching experience and qualifications such as ESL, TEFL or CELTA.
