English, French, German, Arabic, Spanish and more..
So you’re in Japan and you want to teach private language lessons. If you’re a native English teacher, you’re in luck. Lots of Japanese students are looking for English language tutors. If you’re not a native English speaker, you’re still in luck. There are lots of English teachers out there, but probably not so many who teach your language. So why not teach your native language?
It’s true. I don’t like nato…
If you’re also fluent in English, and confident you can teach to a high standard, then teach both, and make sure that’s clear in your teaching profile. But bear in mind, Japanese people (and people in general) like to be taught by a native speaker, so you may then be at a slight disadvantage compared to native English teachers when trying to attract students .
The graph below, produced by Market research company Asmarq, shows the results of a survey in which Japanese people were asked which languages they are interested in learning. Unsurprisingly, English comes first, followed by Chinese. But as the graph indicates, there’s a strong interest in French, Spanish, Korean, German and Italian.
So go for it. Add your profile to OrangoTeacher and start teaching in your native language now. And to really get the students interested in your profile, add a video with you speaking your native language. The video below is a fantastic example of a video introduction put together by native French Speaking Charles. Bien joué Charles!
