Tomoko Tamaki Recruitment is Wonderful!

I am very glad that I found Tomoko for help and guidance on my journey to moving abroad and teaching English! The process can be very daunting and Tomoko helped me through the whole process! There is a lot of steps and paperwork and things that can be overwhelming but Tomoko kept me on track and helped me feel far more prepared than I would’ve been if I did it myself! Her support helped me get all documents ready for my desired departure date. It’s easy to miss small things but she has good attention to detail which makes sure you don’t miss anything!

What was your funniest moment?
I had to catch a connecting flight in Tokyo and they announced it would be delayed. I thought it would be like my home country and it would be delayed for an hour or so. It ended up being a 3 minute delay. This was my first look into real punctuality!
Pros
  • New culture
  • Amazing food
  • New friends
Cons
  • Missing home

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment is AMAZING

Tomoko from Tamaki TEFL Recruitment is absolutely AMAZING!
I'll always be grateful to Tomoko for assisting me in starting my teaching career abroad.
Her professionalism, great attention to detail, excellent communication skills and incessant support enabled me to move to Japan with ease.

Tomoko always answered promptly to any concerns or questions I had. She also provided great detail with regards to working and living in Japan, and the required paperwork for the visa application and Certificate of Eligibility. I couldn't have done it without her!
Her encouragement and concern for my needs and well-being astounds me. After moving to Japan, I continue to receive Tomoko's incredible support and concern for my well-being.

I highly recommend TTR to anyone wanting to teach abroad. Tomoko's professionalism and guidance will be invaluable as you embark on your journey to a new life overseas.. Thank you so much Tomoko for your support!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
The most unfamiliar thing I ate was the Kudzu bun with Matcha bean paste & cream! I've never eaten a transparent-like bun that contains a Matcha jelly substance. Since arriving in Japan, I've decided to try and eat everything that contains Matcha! :) I definitely recommend trying the Kudzu bun and enjoying the authentic Matcha flavors of Japan!

TTR is Magnificent

Tomoko played an Intergral role in aiding me with my teaching job in Japan.
I just want to thank her and honor her for excellent work ethics.
She is professional, affectionate and relatable.
From day one when we interacted she made me feel at ease and was a beacon of hope and encouragement through out the whole process.
My trip to Japan was smooth and my adjustment easier because i had the relevant information which Tomoko provided and made my life easy in a foreign country.
I recommend TTR to anyone looking to teach abroad.They are responsible and accurate and can guarantee a smooth transition.
I can attest to this experience firsthand and if you choose TTR ,that's the best choice for your abroad dream.
Thank you Tamaki Tefl Recruitment for helping me achieve my dream,I'm ever so grateful for everything and the constant communication and check up after landing a Job in Japan .

What was your funniest moment?
Getting lost in Japan and I can't speak a coherent Japanese sentence to save my life .
I'm standing at the train station looking so lost and decide at this point if I get to the hotel at 2am I'm 👍. Then a kind lady passes by and looks at me and smiles and asks me where I'm going and I tell her and she points to the train infront of me. 😃 😊 😀
Pros
  • Support from day 1 and currently.
  • Proffessionalism.
  • Compassion.
Cons
  • Sometimes the process delayed but it was beyond anyone's control as the papers were with immigration .However I was constantly updated and informed of progress.

Truly the Best in TEFL Recruitment

Tomoko has been working in the TEFL community for over a decade, and her depth of knowledge and attention to detail in the process of matching applicants and programs, preparing you for the move, and supportive check-ins during the entire process (post-immigration too!) is unmatched and invaluable for someone looking to land a TEFL position.

Something I really appreciated about Tomoko's process is her honesty, even with aspects of the job or culture that are uncomfortable. The program she matched me with has a very intense training program and steep learning curve for the first month or so, and Tomoko made sure to highlight that and help me prepare mentally and emotionally for that initial obstacle. She is also kind and generally just a delight to work with.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take advantage of Tomoko's knowledge and expertise. Ask her all the questions you can think of—she will be able to help you. And beyond that, allow yourself some grace and flexibility throughout the process. This is a huge step, and you will have to redefine yourself and your world view as you walk through this process.

TTR Review

TTR was very helpful in my journey to teaching overseas. Tomoko is very hands on and she pays attention to detail. She motivates by giving constructive criticism and she displays a level of customer service I had never experienced before. TTR made my journey easy, she was helpful throughout every step from the interviews to the very day I landed in Japan. She is hands on, professional as well as organized. She also keeps checking on me to see how I’m doing and I’m very grateful to have applied through TTR.

TTR with Tomoko Tamaki!

Tomoko was absolutely incredible and an invaluable asset in helping me achieve my dream of teaching overseas. She was with me for the entire process and was diligent, kind, and reassuring about the whole time.

She assisted my with everything from communicating with my company to visa applications and processes, and I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I did without her. She even helped me when I got nervous or anxious.

Honestly I cannot recommend Tomoko enough. If you are considering working with her, do yourself a favor and do it. She's the best at what she does, and I couldn't imagine going through any of this without her help.

TTR with Tomoko Tamaki!

Tomoko was fantastic in helping me achieve my dream of getting hired teaching English abroad. She was attentive, kind, and incredibly diligent in assisting me with every step of the process.

From the actual hiring with my company to the visa application and processes, she was an invaluable asset and I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without her. She was truly fantastic, and even helped give me peace of mind when I started to get anxious or nervous.

I seriously cannot recommend Tomoko enough. If you have the opportunity to work with her, please do yourself a favor and do it. You won't regret it!

Tamaki TEFL Recruitment was brilliant

Couldn't recommend Tomoko with Tamaki TEFL Recruitment enough with how she helped me get through the process of getting a VISA for Japan, preparing for the demo and many other things needed when moving to a new job / new country. I never felt like I was in the dark about anything, whenever I had a question it was answered in quick fashion.

I have since moved to Japan and started the new job and its been pretty much a dream come true. Met loads of lovely people and the job is better than I could have asked for so far!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Within the first few days I was in Japan I experienced my first large earthquake, definitely a unique experience when your whole room shakes for like 2 seconds and then silence!
Pros
  • Extremely quick response time
  • Brilliant care/help throughout the entire process
  • Lots of recommendations for making life easier during the paperwork process

Questions & Answers

Hi Zac! I am pretty sure that everybody needs at least a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) to get the Japanese work visa. I can't speak for the other countries though. Also, there could be exceptions, but you should verify with the Japanese immigration site info: https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/index.html Hope it helped! Have a good one!
