A Guide to Teach Abroad in Kyoto
What you need to know about teaching abroad in Kyoto?
Kyoto is not only the historical capital of Japan, it is also the academic capital. This means there are plenty of teaching opportunities in Kyoto to teach English, other subjects, and even kindergarten.
Popular ESL jobs in Kyoto. Universities are constantly searching for experienced English teachers to support their students in the development of their English. For those with less experience, or who want more control over their working hours and holidays, there are plenty of private classes in need of teachers. You could either pick up private work independently, or work through an institution. If you want more time to explore Japan, or improve your Japanese, there are homestay programs where for a few hours English conversation practice with your host every day you will be provided with accommodation (and maybe meals).
Short-term vs. long-term teaching jobs. Due to the popularity of Kyoto as a location to teach English, and the strict visa process, most jobs will expect you to commit to at least a one-year duration. If you wish to teach in Kyoto for only a few months or less, your best approach would be to use an agency or program provider that can match you with short term jobs.
Teaching English vs. teaching other subjects. Teaching English is most popular in Kyoto, but if you have teaching speciality in other subjects, you can find teaching opportunities in math, science, and more. There are several international schools that require qualified teachers and teaching assistants (qualifications are dependent on the job). Kindergarten teachers are also in high demand, as English speaking early education is increasing in popularity. Universities often have jobs advertised, but you will need a strong academic record in the subject.
