Registration & Requirements
Can I sign up if I'm not in Japan? +
No. Please sign up after you arrive in Japan, as a local address and phone number are required. Profiles for teachers outside Japan will be deleted.
Can you help me get a visa? +
No. We only accept teachers currently in Japan with a valid visa. We cannot answer visa-related questions.
How long must I be in Japan to register? +
At least four months. Students pay for contact information expecting teachers to be available for several months.
What do I need to start? +
Get organized! You'll need:
- A schedule book
- File folders for each student
- Teaching materials
- A professional and friendly phone manner
Having a great first lesson prepared for different levels is key to getting students to return.
Lessons & Students
How do you find students? +
Most of our students find us through ads in local magazines, newspapers, or our Japanese language website.
What should I do when a student first contacts me? +
Be prepared! Decide on a well-known meeting place, know your available schedule, and be ready to explain your teaching methods. Asking about their study history shows you care.
How does lesson cancellation work? +
Notify each other at least 24 hours in advance. For last-minute cancellations, you can discuss charging a fee with the student, but we don't guarantee payment.
Who pays for drinks or textbooks? +
Both teacher and student pay for their own drinks and textbooks. You can recommend materials, but students purchase them on their own.
Payment & Account
How do I get paid? +
You are paid in cash directly by the student after each lesson. You can ask for payment at the beginning or end of the lesson—whichever you're comfortable with.
What if a student asks for a receipt? +
If a student asks for a receipt, you can download and use our form. Please write your name on it and give it to the student.
