Teaching Jobs in Japan

I am coming up on 6 months into my placement as an English teacher in Japan and could not be happier that I chose to work with TravelBud! TravelBud makes it extremely easy to begin the process of moving your life abroad, from facilitating a TESOL certification course, setting up interviews with prospective schools, and even connecting you with incredible people making up an in-country support team. Every staff member I have spoken with from this company has been incredibly kind, patient, and more than willing to answer any and all questions I had about teaching, living abroad, and the entire process of doing so. If you are thinking about teaching abroad, I cannot recommend TravelBud enough - they are a perfect resource to make the process of moving your entire life to another country as seamless as possible, whether it's your first or tenth time doing so!

Sometimes you are faced with a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Paid Teaching in Japan and Lifetime Placement is one of those opportunities. At first, I was skeptical about the program. The website and overall atmosphere I got from the Job source seemed to me to resemble a scam. After the first interview, I realized I was completely wrong. The interviewer and all other employees were in fact very professional. And within 4 months of a relatively expensive and time-consuming effort, I made it to Japan. All the hard work immediately paid off. The course was fast and easy, although it was thorough. I felt well equipped to be a teacher in Japan after going through all of it. A special benefit to this course specifically was the exposure to real teaching opportunities where we were thrown into language schools or even International Schools and replaced teachers for a lesson. This led me to my placement. I had a couple options for my placement, but the one that sounded the best was a position near Osaka, Japan. The Job itself is fine, I have enjoyed it so far, but the location is amazing. Being on the outside of Osaka just fit me personally and I would have never chosen it before going through with this program. I haven't utilized the lifetime placement but maybe down the road I will and can review that another time. The pay for the jobs offered is very low, especially from a western background. but have no fear, as the cost of living is also significantly lower. I have been truly enjoying this experience and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to make a change in their life for the better.
