Hello!
I recently started learning Japanese because I want to be able to move to Japan on a work visa, specifically as an English teacher. I have started learning and using English since I was around 10-years-old, mainly because I needed it to understand the video games and anime I wanted to consume and that weren't available at the time in Morocco. I do not have a college degree, but I have attended college in Switzerland, changing majors because of various reasons for a total of 7 years. Many of the classes I have attended were English-only or English-prefered, so I quickly got used to using english in an academic setting.
So, here is what I want to know:
From what I have gathered in my research about this subject, one would need an bachelors degree to be able to teach English in Japan.
- Is it possible to get the teaching job with a TOEFL C2 in English + JLPT N1, without having a college degree?
- If not, would it help to have a few of years of experience teaching in my own country?
