Question:
For a foreigner who has a degree and hopes to teach English and Mandarin in Japan, which city would be better for him in terms of pay, demand for such language teachers, and cost of living?
Answer:
Pay is usually about the same wherever you teach but there would be greater demand for language teachers in the bigger cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka and Nagoya.
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.
Salary is usually around 240,000 - 255,000 yen per month depending on experience and qualifications.
