The key to making money as an English teacher is to get a full-time job with as few hours as possible. This maximizes your opportunity to teach privately, for 3,000 yen an hour (was 5,000 when I did it, in the bubble days).
At NOVA, which is now bust, the teachers worked long hours, so the hourly pay worked out to something like 1,700 yen per class.
