Japan is one of the most sought-after destinations for teaching English abroad, offering a fascinating blend of the ultramodern with the traditional.

Teachers are in high demand with private language institutes, public schools and corporate settings offering opportunities to earn a competitive salary with benefits like housing assistance and health coverage. In a city like Tokyo, travelling from home to your workplace might mean a 60- to 90-minute commute because it’s just that big. Tradition is a stone’s throw away, so you can zen out over the weekend in a traditional Buddhist temple in Kyoto or sample delicious local cuisine and dance the night away in Osaka.

The TEFL Academy’s Level 5 TEFL certification, with 168 hours of comprehensive training, fully equips you for success in Japanese classrooms, applying your skills in lesson planning, teaching methodologies, and specialist areas such as Young Learners or Business English.
