If you&#8217;re a native English teacher, you&#8217;re in luck. Lots of Japanese students are looking for English language tutors. If you&#8217;re not a native English speaker, you&#8217;re still in luck. There are lots of English teachers out there, but probably not so many who teach your language. So why not <strong>teach your native language?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdobeStock_84697692-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Teaching English in Japan\" data-id=\"94\" data-link=\"https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=94\" class=\"wp-image-94\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdobeStock_84697692-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdobeStock_84697692-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdobeStock_84697692-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdobeStock_84697692.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>It&#8217;s true.

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 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s a strong interest in French, Spanish, Korean, German and Italian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"795\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image-1.png 795w, https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image-1-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/orangoteacher.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image-1-768x501.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So go for it. Add your profile to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangoteacher.com\/\">OrangoTeacher<\/a> 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.
