Accepted applicants will sign an initial two-year contract to live and work in Tamura as part of a 12-person team of English teachers. Many of our teachers decide to extend their contracts and stay in Japan longer than two years.
Interviews are conducted each year in the fall. New teachers arrive in Japan around the first of April following an orientation in late March. For more information, please use the form on this page.
