I’m posting on behalf of my dad. He has expressed to me numerous times that he would like to do a stint in Japan teaching English. He’s been a teacher in Australia for his entire career (35+ years) and spent some time in Japan growing up form age 12-15. He envisages working there for 6 months or so after he retires from teaching next year – not necessary a full on teaching role, more so for the experience of reconnecting with a country that has a special place for him. He’s a bit unsure where to look for the opportunities and what the process is so I would really love to hear if anybody has any advice for me dad (e.g. job boards, types of schools, regions) :3
I should note that he is 60 years old (I’m uncertain if this would be a big factor companies would consider when they’re hiring).
