Teaching English in Japan for a short time (3 months) any ideas? Please!
 

Hey guys!

I really need some advice!
I was hoping to go to Japan next summer to teach English there in school with programs such as JET. But unfortunately all their contracts are over 6 months up to a year. And I need something shorter because I have to go back to university.

I do have good characteristics. I am so ambitious about this, that I even took up learning Japanese (my 6th language).
I have 2 years experience in teaching English to non-native speakers, and I really enjoy it.
I would really love to explore the country a bit.

If there is nothing like this, maybe a students exchange? I wouldn’t mind that either, just going to Japan has been my drive for my entire life! (Perhaps there is someone interested here in this)

Any ideas?
Best Regards from England!:ywave:

Please explore a little before starting new threads that address your question.

The problem is there is a glut of teachers that will sign three year contracts, so why would a company sign on someone who will only stay for a few months?

Three months is barely enough time to even get used to the work, let alone become at all good at it.
Think about this in a more realistic light - Why would somewhere want to hire someone who will leave before they even figure out the workplace? It would be a waste of the company`s time, money and effort.

you can try one of the English conversation schools. some employers also advertise jobs for shorter durations. please visit the site in my signature to get a list of teaching jobs, which get updated everyday. all the best.

thank you very much, this is VERY helpful!
