So you want to teach in Japan?

Well, you’re in for one hell of a ride!

Teaching here is not that hard but getting the most out of it can be tricky.

I’ve been at it for 12 years now and love it! Everything about it… The country, my clients/students, the food, etc…

Stay away from the forums about teaching in Japan where most of the messages are negative and filled with people that couldn’t post a useful tip if their life depended on it.
