I’m hoping to get some insight on teaching English in Japan with a family. I have a Bachelors degree and am looking to take a TEFL course, but I’m wondering if it would be possible to provide for a family as an English teacher. I’ve looked all over and can hardly find anything about people going to teach with a family, so I was hoping to get some feedback from others who might have done the same.
Both my spouse and I are half Japanese, though they were born and raised in Japan, so they are fluent in reading and writing, and our child is also learning the language. We have family in Hokkaido so we are able to get a sponsor, and we are hoping that I can get a long term teaching position there. Does working farther North provide a better salary? Would schools be eager to have a teacher willing to stay long term that has connections to the area? And would it be possible to provide for a family as an English teacher in the north or in general?
