Hi everyone,

my question is, i am willing to go back to Japan, because my girlfriend lives there, Sendai.
Im a Chef working in Australia now. Because it s so difficult to get a job as a chef in Japan, i think the best thing to do is to become a Teacher. Im native French and Portuguese. Speak fluently those 2 languages and English too but not English native.
does anyone know any etablishment to become teacher of those languages???
Do you know if they can sponsor someone???
I can get the Working Holiday VISA, but it s only for one year, i wanna live there!!!!

Thanks for answering!!!!

You must have completed 12 years of school education in English, if you want to be an English teacher in Japan.
This requirement is based on Japan law to get an appropricate visa to work in Japan.

And almost all of private companies of English conversation require to have a bachelor's degree.
Sounds bad for me i suppose
And to be a French Teacher, any chance???
The ligal requirement I posted before can be changed to following.

You must have completed 12 years of school education in the language you wish to teaach in Japan.

As crystal guy 座 mentioned, you should check and ask by yourself.

NOVA: http://www.teachinjapan.com/
AEON: http://www.aeonet.com/aeon_index.php
ECC : http://www.japanbound.com/index.shtml


Im gonna check the website you gave me to go, i will let you know what s happenning next.

Good luck!

I think in Sendai, you may be able to get a job
a little easier than in Tokyo. You could try
getting your girlfriend to translate your resume
and get her to drop it into some schools in the
area.
With 3 languages jobs shouldn't be a problem
although maybe not being able to speak Japanese
will be an issue. If you're a trained chef, it
might be worth approaching a few restaurants as
well. You can't hit if you don't swing.
If you go to the Japanese embassy in France or Portugal and apply to be a part of the JET Programme, you have a good chance to be placed in a position as an assistant language teacher in a rural part of Japan. There are a few limitations, though, so if I were you I would look up the programme online and see if you qualify.
if you need a visa, work for NOVA or AEON or one of the big eikaiwa's. but i wouldnt recommend them. they have a bad reputation.

as you can gain the working holiday visa, i would recommend going to the working holiday visa centre in either osaka or tokyo when you arrive. from there you can see a variety of jobs, not just teaching. but also, you can find smaller schools there willing to employ even if you dont have all the requirements.

also as you have the visa for a year you can find private students through posting your availability to teach eng/french/portuguese in various free magazines or internet.

whilst there, if you wish to stay more long term, learn japanese and take a look at some restaurants cafes there. someone may be willing to employ you, especially if you are skilled in a foreign cuisine.

good luck.
Thanks for all this comments guys, it makes me more strong than before!!! Arigatou
